Phillies fans can only hope Kyle Schwarber repeats All-Star heroics in red pinstripes

Major League Baseball's All-Star festivities drew to an end late Tuesday night in Atlanta. The 2025 event was more entertaining than previous years because it ended in a 6-6 tie after nine innings.

Rather than going into extra innings to break the tie, both managers, Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts, selected three players from their respective teams to compete in a home run swing-off for the first time in All-Star Game history.

The American League sent Brent Rooker, Randy Arozarena and Jonathan Aranda to swing for the fences. The National League sent out Kyle Stowers, Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso (who never had to swing).
