Today marks the 52nd anniversary for one of the greatest All-Star Games in history as the American League beats the National League 6-4 at Detroit's Tiger Stadium.

The game is highlighted by six homers by six future Hall of Famers – Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Roberto Clemente, Reggie Jackson, Harmon Killebrew and Frank Robinson.

Jackson’s homer is the most memorable as his fourth-inning drive off Pittsburgh’s Dock Ellis crashes off a power generator atop the right-field roof.

Estimated distance: 520 feet.

The game marks the only time between 1963 and 1983 the American League actually wins the game.
