The first contest in Anaheim on July 11, 1967 went 15 innings with the 2-1 National League victory being decided by a 15th inning home run courtesy of Tony Perez. Ironically, each of the three third basemen playing in the game provided the scoring via home run. The 1967 game would mark a record for the longest game in All-Star Game history, which would last for 41 years when the 2008 game also spanned 15 innings.
Four of the participants in the game took time out to share their memories of playing in that epic contest. Their memories are detailed in the article linked above.
