On July 9, 1946, the American League dominated the All-Star Game with a 12-2 victory at Fenway Park. Red Sox legend Ted Williams starred by going 4-for-4 with a walk, five RBIs, and two home runs—including one off Rip Sewell's famous high-arching "eephus" pitch. On the mound, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Jack Kramer each tossed three innings to limit the National League to just three hits.
