Former Braves catcher Brian McCann was named MVP of the 2010 MLB All-Star Game in Anaheim after his key hit in the National League's 3-1 victory over the American League.

With the NL trailing 1-0 in the seventh, McCann delivered a bases-loaded double with two outs to give the NL the lead and ultimately the victory.

McCann's MVP award was the first one for an Atlanta Brave since Fred McGriff in 1994.
