1940 All-Star Game
The 1940 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 8th playing of the mid-summer classic. The game was held
on July 9, 1940 at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Missouri, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns.
The game resulted in the National League defeating the American League 4-0.
Boston's Max West gave the National League a three-run bulge in the first inning with a three-run dinger, and
the National League won, 4-0, to record the first shutout in All-Star Game history. Manager Bill McKechnie used
fresh pitchers every two innings to hold the mighty American League bats to three hits.
