Cubs All-Star Game Trivia

While researching my book "everycubever" (https://eckhartzpress.com/shop/everycubever/), I did a deep dive into all-star game history to see which Cub did what. Here is one of the strangest things I discovered. No Cub has ever hit more than one homer in all-star game history. Bryant and Contreras have a chance to become the first. Here are all nine all-star game homers by Cubs...

George Altman (1961) vs. Mike Fornieles
Ernie Banks (1960) vs. Bill Monbouquette
Kris Bryant (2016) vs. Chris Sale
Willson Contreras (2018) vs. Blake Snell
Andre Dawson (1991) vs. Roger Clemens
Augie Galan (1936) vs. Schoolboy Rowe
Hank Sauer (1952) vs. Bob Lemon
Alfonso Soriano (2007) vs. JJ Putz
Billy Williams (1964) vs. John Wyatt
