The National League started off the new decade in style with the first All-Star Game shutout. An unlikely hero emerged, as Boston Bees outfielder Max West ripped a three-run homer in the first inning off Yankees right-hander Red Ruffing. It was the only career All-Star Game at-bat for West, who hit seven homers that season; an injury forced him from the Classic the following inning.
