The voting by the fans during the 1978 All-Star Game was widely criticized � even by the players themselves. Johnny Bench, who was on the disabled list for the five weeks prior to this game but named to the starting catcher's position, said, "The whole thing hands me a laugh. Two years after I'm dead I'll still be getting All-Star votes."

Two triples were hit during the 1978 Midsummer Classic; an extra-base hitting feat matched only (through this game) during the 1934 All-Star Game, 1951 All-Star Game & 1976 All-Star Game.

Did you know that Rich Gossage was the first All-Star to play for the American League All-Star team, then the National League, and now back in the American League?
