1941 All-Star Game
The 1941 All-Star Game was the 9th of the mid-summer classic between the all-stars of the American League and
National League. The game was held on July 8, 1941 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, the home of
the Detroit Tigers of the American League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 7-5.
The ending of the 1941 Midsummer Classic at Briggs (aka Tiger) Stadium has to be considered a classic. In the midst of
the magical season in which
Joe Dimaggio hit in 56 straight games (and he also had a hit in the All-Star Game) and Ted
Williams hit .406 (he was at a robust .405 entering the break), it was appropriate that both icons figured in the game's
stirring climax.
A dramatic two-out, three-run Walk-Off homer by
Ted Williams carried the American League to victory. Until Williams' drive into
the upper right-field stands, the batting hero had been the National League's
Arky Vaughan, who singled and cracked a
pair of two-run homers.
