The celebrity softball game isn't always the most competitive part of MLB All-Star festivities, but the 2016 version came down to a play at the plate.

With one out and down by one, the NL decided to get aggressive on the basepaths after a pop fly to left. It didn't work. A strong throw from left field ended in a double play and a win for the AL.
Here's the whole play. So close, yet so far away.
Easily the best finish to a celebrity softball game. Up one w/ 1 out. Fly to left, out at plate! AL wins! #SCtop10 pic.twitter.com/NR3r1Evzuo
