Gabby Hartnett shined brightly tonight against the best talent that the MLB has to offer. The all-star was named MVP for the annual mid-season showcase held at Ebbets Field, as his NL All-Stars downed the AL All-Stars by a count of 6-0. "It's humbling to even play in a game like this with legends of the sport all around you," he said. Hartnett went 2 for 3 to capture the honor. Hartnett has registered a career batting average of .292 with 1501 hits, 195 homers and 922 RBIs.
