The All-Stars come to the Twin Cities, for the first time in 20 years as the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome hosts 56th mid-summer classic. The National League continues their dominance of the American League, winning 6-1 as LaMarr Hoyt of the San Diego Padres is named MVP. Since 1960 the National League had won 25 of 28 completed All-Star contests, with one tie due to rain.
