Quick Trivia Question

Who are the first foreign-born players to homer for the National League and the American League in the All-Star Game?

NL Cepeda or Perez

Good job!

Cuban-born Tony Perez homered in the top of the 15th off Catfish Hunter (working his fifth inning!) to lead the National League to a 2-1 victory in the 1967 All-Star Game.

AL Cookie Rojas 1972

Indeed. Cuban-born Cookie Rojas hit an eighth inning homer in the 1972 All-Star Game:

Maybe we can get a Kansas City Royals card for Cookie. The man played the second most games at second base for the Royals, behind the man who replaced him, Frank White.

Good job, guys!

BTW here's the video of the Tony Perez homer:
