July 8 1935 All Star Game

The third edition of what was soon to become known as the “midsummer classic” was played at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium on July 8, 1935. A crowd of 69,831 filled one of the game’s monster ballyards, setting an All-Star Game record that stood until 1981, when more than 72,000 attended the 52nd All-Star Game in the same park.

After the novelty of the first game and the electric performance by Carl Hubbell in the second, the third was rather mundane. The AL won for the third straight year and it was pretty much a Jimmie Foxx show. The Athletics’ slugger, again playing third in deference to Lou Gehrig, belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the first, giving the AL a lead it never relinquished.

Of the players playing in the first three All-Star Games, Al Simmons of the White Sox was the game’s top hitter with a 6-for-13 showing, a .462 average. However, he never appeared in another All-Star Game. But the most frustrated hitter was Gehrig. A Triple Crown winner in 1934, he was hitless in nine All-Star at-bats.

The A’s trade Mark McGwire to the Cardinals for Eric Ludwick, T.J. Mathews, and Blake Stein, a trio of hurlers who will combine for just 30 victories with Oakland. The Redbirds’ new first baseman, whose accomplishments will be tainted by the speculation of his use of PEDs, hits an astounding 220 home runs in the 545 games he plays with St. Louis.
