Striking Out The Greatest, The All Star Game, 10th July 1934.

from Classic Baseball Radio · host Ewan Spence

The 1933 Chicago World’s Fair saw what was planned to be a one-off "All Stars" exhibition game, with two rosters selected by the fans of each league. Following its success, including a significant charitable donation from ticket sales, the Midsummer Classic returned in 1934. Stepping up to the plate for the American League are five bona fide legends, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin. Facing them on the mound for the National League was Cal Hubbell and his classic screwball. Pitching in his home field, Hubbell is about to set a strikeout streak that remains one of the greatest fannings of all time. The box score can be found here. This game was played on July 10th, 1934.
