**(MLB 2008.07.15) 2008 MLB All-Star Game - 15 Innings**

The 2008 MLB All-Star Game, played on July 15th at Yankee Stadium, was a marathon of baseball, extending into 15 innings and showcasing the intensity and excitement of the Midsummer Classic. The game, which featured top players from both the American League and National League, is remembered as one of the longest All-Star Games in history.

The game was filled with standout performances, including clutch pitching and hitting that kept fans on the edge of their seats. After 14 innings of tied play, the American League broke through in the 15th inning, with a walk-off single by Michael Young, giving the American League a 4-3 victory.

The game saw brilliant pitching from both sides, with standout performances from the likes of C.C. Sabathia, Francisco Rodriguez, and Jonathan Papelbon, while players like J.D. Drew and Brian Roberts provided key offensive moments for their respective teams. With no home-field advantage on the line (that wouldn't be implemented until 2003), both teams played for pride and the love of the game.

The 2008 All-Star Game is fondly remembered as an epic, extra-inning classic that kept fans engaged until the final pitch, making it a memorable chapter in MLB's All-Star history.
