Best moments from wild 2025 All-Star Game
MLB proved without a doubt once again that nobody does All-Star Games like baseball.
There were some iconic moments at Truist Park on Tuesday night - and that was before the historic ending. Now that it's all over, let's look back at the best moments from the 95th MLB All-Star Game.
ABS arrives in the majors 🤖
MLB brought the ABS ball-strike challenge system to the game, and the AL was quick to use it. Cal Raleigh and Tarik Skubal successfully challenged a ball called in the first inning, resulting in a Manny Machado strikeout.

Kershaw's got jokes 🤣
Before leaving his potential final All-Star Game to a long ovation from fans and teammates alike, Dodgers great Clayton Kershaw garnered quite a few laughs while talking with Fox broadcasters Joe Davis and John Smoltz on the mound. And no, Smoltzie, he doesn't throw a cutter.

After he was done, Kershaw met up with his future Hall of Fame teammate, eight-time All-Star pitcher Pedro Martínez.

Atlanta still loves Freddie ❤️
Freddie Freeman now wears Dodger Blue, but he'll forever be a hero in Atlanta. The first baseman got emotional as he received a long ovation while addressing the crowd pregame.

Like father, like son 👴👦
A's shortstop Jacob Wilson, starting for the AL as a rookie, was mic'd up during the third inning. So was his father Jack, a 2004 All-Star for the Pirates.

Polar Bear wins Atlanta over 🐻❄️
Braves fans heartily booed all of the rival Mets' All-Star representatives. Alonso managed to turn those boos into grudging cheers for one night at least when he launched a long three-run homer.

Remembering Hammerin' Hank 🔨
It wouldn't be an All-Star Game in Atlanta without paying tribute to the late, great Henry Aaron. The Hall of Famer and former home run king was honored with a remarkable on-field tribute that recreated his record-breaking 715th homer in unique style.

Nobody beats 'The Miz' ⛽️
After all the controversy surrounding his selection, Jacob Misiorowski entered the All-Star Game and put on a show. His 102-mph fastball to open the eighth inning made him one of only four pitchers to reach 102 or higher in an All-Star Game, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com.

And then he busted out a 98-mph slider that left both dugouts' jaws on the floor.

Torre takes the ball 🐐
Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre served as an honorary All-Star coach on Yankees manager Aaron Boone's AL staff. The 84-year-old came out to make a pitching change in the eighth inning, taking the ball from White Sox rookie Shane Smith.

NL wins in swing-off 💪
The AL's late-inning comeback sent the All-Star Game to an unprecedented swing-off to determine a winner. It was the NL that prevailed on the back of Kyle Schwarber, who went 3-for-3 in the impromptu Home Run Derby to power the Senior Circuit to victory. Relive the entire historic finish here:
