1941
At the All-Star Game at Briggs Stadium‚ Ted Williams‚ hitting .405 at the break‚ homers off Chicago Cubs P Claude Passeau with two out and 2 on in the 9th inning to give the AL a dramatic 7-5 victory. Williams' 4 RBIs are matched by NL SS Arky Vaughan‚ who hits HRs in the 7th and 8th. Vaughan is the first player to homer twice in the classic.

That sounds like a fun All-Star Game.
