Trivia [ ]
Jack McKeon became the oldest manager to manage an All-Star game after becoming the oldest manager to manage a World Series in 2003 with the Florida Marlins .
Roger Clemens gave up six runs in one inning for the first time in his major-league career.
In the top of the first inning, the American League hit for the cycle for the first time in All-Star Game history.
This was the first All-Star Game to be broadcast in high-definition.
This was also the first All-Star Game in which Joe Buck , the play-by-play announcer for Fox , announced the coaches, reserves, managers and starters for both the American League and National League.
Carlos Beltrán was originally selected to start in the outfield for the AL and represent the Kansas City Royals , but was traded to Houston a few weeks before this game, but still played in the game as a defensive substitution for Lance Berkman . Beltrán was on the roster because original starter Ken Griffey, Jr. was hurt and Beltrán took his spot as a substitute.
This was also the last All-Star Game for Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin , as he would retire before the 2005 season.
