Passeau delivered a fastball, and Williams connected with a mighty swing. The ball soared deep into right field, and for a moment, it seemed like it might be caught. However, the ball kept carrying, and it ultimately cleared the fence for a dramatic three-run walk-off home run, giving the American League a stunning 7-5 victory.

The 1941 All-Star Game also featured several other Hall of Famers, including Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx, and Hank Greenberg, but it was Ted Williams who stole the show with his unforgettable walk-off home run on July 17.
