On August 8, 1947 — At Wrigley Field Schoolboy Rowe of the Phillies pinch hits for Johnny Sain to become the first major leaguer to appear in different All-Star Games representing teams from the National League and American League. Rowe batted for sain in the bottom of the 9th, with the NL down 2-1, he flew out to right to end the game against Joe Page.

In the 1936 Mid-summer classic, the former Philadelphia A’s ace threw three innings of relief against the NL stars.

Johnny Mize homered off Spec Shea, 4th inn, for the only run for the NL. The Al scored a single run in the 6th and 7th.
