July 11 1944 All Star Game

History of the MLB All-Star game – 1943

American League 5,

National League 3

Nettled by accusations that he was flagrantly partial to his own Yankees when it came to selecting his All-Star starters, Joe McCarthy played the game without calling on any of the five Yankees on his bench.

The game, played at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park, was the first to be played at night and, with the military draft beginning to make deeper inroads on major-league rosters, wasn’t quite a showcase with Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Johnny Mize, Pete Reiser, and others missing.

After the NL had taken a one-run lead in the first (the run was driven in by Stan Musial, making the first of 24 straight All-Star appearances), the AL began its assault on Mort Cooper.

With the AL up 5-1, a DiMaggio — Vince DiMaggio — stepped up for the NL. He had singled as a pinch-hitter in the fourth and stayed in the game. He tripled off Tex Hughson in the seventh and scored on a fly ball. In the ninth, he cracked a long home run off Hughson. Still, Hughson managed to wrap up yet another AL victory.

1934 – The Cards beat the Dodgers, 5 – 4, with the win credited to Bill Hallahan, who relieves in the 6th inning and gives up a run. In the bottom half, the Cards score five runs, and Dizzy Dean comes in and shuts out Brooklyn in the last three innings. The official scorer refers the decision on the winning pitcher to National League president John Heydler, who gives it to Dean, eventually making his 30-win season possible. Heydler’s telegram reads in part: “Dean pitched great ball during three innings to protect one-run lead and is winner. Hallahan pitched one inning rather poorly and did not stand to lose the game even had he continued.”
