The Last time the All-Star Game was hosted by the Mets was at old Shea Stadium in 1964. The game was a big one for one Phillies Rep.
1965 Topps #310 Johnny Callison
With the scored tied in 2 outs in the 9th Johnny Callison hit a 3 run homer to give the NL a 7-4 walk off victory.
The moment noted on the reverse of Callison's 1965 Topps card:

Commons from the much loved 65T set can often be found in the 3/Buck bin. A semi-star like Callison would likely fetch somewhere between 50 cents adn a dollar. Commons from the set run from #1-370. The High Numbers start at 371 and run to the end of the set, 598. Non-stars among High Numbers go for around a dollar.

Love the '65 Callison. He just looks like a ballplayer. And thanks for that link to the ESPN article. It was a nice read that I would have missed.
