1937 All-Star Game
The 1937 Major All-Star Game was the fifth playing of the mid-summer classic between the all-stars of the
American League and National League. The game was held on July 7, 1937 at Griffith Stadium in Washington D.C.,
the home of the Washington Senators of the American League. The game resulted in the American League defeating
the National League 8-3. The game, watched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is remembered because of a play
in which Earl Averill of the Indians hit a ball that struck pitcher
Dizzy Dean on the toe, breaking it.
The American League was led by New York Yankee
Lou Gehrig
who homered and doubled and knock in 4 runs which was all the American League All-Stars needed.
The Manager for the National League was
Bill Terry and the American League was
Joe-McCarthy.
