1971 All Star Game: Reggie Jackson hit a mammoth shot at Tiger Stadium

On this day in 1971, Reggie Jackson hit a massive home run off the Pirates' Dock Ellis.   It hit the power generator on the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium.   

By the way, the 1971 game was an amazing collection of future Hall of Famers:   Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Willie Stargell, Willie McCovey, Johnny Bench, Ron Santo, Lou Brock, Roberto Clemente, Steve Carlton, Ferguson Jenkins, Juan Marichal, Tony Oliva and Tom Seaver.

Jackson's shot stole the headlines to say the least.
