1933 All-Star Game
The 1933 All-Star Game was the first midseason exhibition baseball game between the
all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball.
The game was held on July 6, 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, the home of the Chicago White Sox of the American
League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 4-2.
The American League got on the board first in the bottom of the second inning. NL pitcher Bill Hallahan issued
one-out walks to Rick Ferrell and Joe Cronin. Two batters later, pitcher Lefty Gomez singled home Ferrell for
the AL's first run. In the bottom of the third, after a walk to Charlie Gehringer, Babe Ruth famously hit the
first home run in All-Star Game history, putting the AL up 3-0. Hallahan was chased from the game after walking
Lou Gehrig immediately afterward, and was replaced by Lon Warneke. General Crowder replaced Gomez to start the
fourth inning. In the sixth, Warneke hit a one-out triple and scored on a Pepper Martin groundout. Frankie Frisch
followed with a home run to bring the NL to within a run, but after a Chuck Klein single, Crowder would escape
the inning without giving up any more damage.
Cronin led off the bottom of the sixth with a single. After advancing on a bunt, he scored on a Earl Averill
single to extend the lead to 4-2. Crowder would be replaced by Lefty Grove in the top of the seventh, while
Warneke was replaced by Carl Hubbell in the bottom of the inning. The NL looked to have a chance in the top of
the eighth. With Frisch on first with two outs, Chick Hafey lined a shot to right field that looked like it could
be home run, but Ruth reached over the wall to catch it, denying the NL a chance to tie the game. Grove retired
the side in order in the ninth to secure the American League's victory.
