    Assuming we make it the World Series. Has there ever been a city to host both an All Star & World Series game?

    Go 'Stros!

    A similar question was asked to Richard Justice, but the asker included the Super Bowl. There has never been a city that has hosted all 3 things in one year. I don't know about the ASG and WS only.

    Houston came pretty close in 1986.

    Does anybody remember who was the starting pitcher for the American League in that game? HINT: Wayne Graham coached him at San Jacinto Junior College...
