Kyle Schwarber: "Being a baseball fan and growing up watching Cincinnati baseball for your whole youth, that's how you fall in love with baseball."

The lefty stepped to the plate when a 6-6 tie after nine innings sent the midsummer classic to the first "swing-off" in the game's history. Schwarber efficiently used his three swings to launch three homers and beat the American League 4-3 in the "Home Runs For The Win" contest that decided the game.
