Miguel Vargas is 3rd player to make special White Sox All-Star Game history

It's been a special season for Miguel Vargas.

It got even more wonderful on Tuesday night at the 2026 MLB All-Star Game.

The Chicago White Sox slugger launched a 433-foot home run deep into the night. 

It was the game's first extra-base hit, and about as no-doubt a homer as you can get in Philadelphia.

Vargas did not miss that slider hanging up in the zone.

And with that big blast, Vargas joined some exclusive White Sox history. He's the third player from the White Sox to hit a home run in the All-Star Game, according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs.

The first to do so was Frank Thomas in 1995.

Then it was Magglio Ordonez in 2001 leaving the yard while representing the White Sox.

Vargas joins those two guys, two of the best hitters in franchise history. Before this season, no one would've thought of Vargas as being in that same category.

Now, though, he's shining bright, and on the big stage at the Midsummer Classic, Vargas got a pitch to clobber and didn't miss it.

It's a moment he'll never forget.
