“In the middle of the 1971 season, Weaver managed what is widely considered the greatest All-Star Game ever played. For the first time, two Black pitchers, Vida Blue and Dock Ellis, started on the mound. Twenty Hall of Famers played in the game, including Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, and Roberto Clemente, and two, Sparky Anderson and Weaver, managed. Aaron, Clemente, Jackson, Johnny Bench, Frank Robinson, and Harmon Killebrew all homered. Jackson hit one off a light tower on the roof. Juan Marichal and Jim Palmer each pitched two scoreless innings. The team was so good that Pete Rose didn’t get to hit, and Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton didn’t pitch.”
