On This Day: July 9

1946 

With seven Red Sox teammates on the American League squad, Ted Williams puts on a show with two homers, two singles, a walk, 4 runs scored, and 4 RBI to lead the AL to a 12 – 0 laugher over the National League in the All-Star Game at Fenway. The highlight of the game is Williams’s home run off Rip Sewell’s blooper pitch.
