The 1985 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, played in Minnesota’s Metrodome, featured a slew of future Hall of Famers including Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Rickey Henderson, George Brett, Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray, Dave Winfield, Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk. The National League pitching staff held American League bats in check, winning the game 6-1. NL starting pitcher LaMarr Hoyt was named the game’s Most Valuable Player after throwing three innings while allowing just two hits and no earned runs. Nolan Ryan followed Hoyt on the mound to toss an additional three scoreless innings for the National League.
