There have been 177 home runs in the history of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game. Last year, there were a pair of homers hit, both in the fourth inning: Boston’s Adrian Gonzalez connected off Cliff Lee for the American League, and the Brewers Prince Fielder, who was later named the game’s MVP, hit a three-run home run off C.J. Wilson. These were the first HRs in the All-Star Game since 2008, ending a two-year drought of four-baggers

Another significant aspect of Fielder’s home run was that it was the first home run by the Brewers franchise in All-Star Game history. (Note: Four members of the Milwaukee Braves homered in the All-Star Game, but that was as part of the current Atlanta Braves franchise.) Gonzalez’ home run was the 18th HR for a Red Sox player in the All-Star Game, most for any team in the game’s history.

Following are the number of All-Star Game home runs by each of the 30 current MLB franchises.

18: Boston

14: Atlanta

13: St. Louis

12: Detroit

11: L.A. Dodgers, Cincinnati, San Francisco, N.Y. Yankees

9: Pittsburgh

7: Baltimore, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland

5: Washington

4: L.A. Angels, Kansas City, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Seattle, Texas

3: Oakland

2: Chicago White Sox, Colorado, Miami, Houston, N.Y. Mets

1: Milwaukee, San Diego, Tampa Bay, Toronto

0: Arizona

Fielder’s home run ended the long wait for a Brewers franchise player to hit a home run in the All-Star Game. That leaves only the Arizona franchise as the lone franchise without an All-Star Game homer.

Following is a look at the last home run hit by a representative of each franchise in the All-Star Game.
