1933 All-Star Game
Comiskey Park, Chicago
The "Game of the Century" was played in Chicago's Comiskey Park. The first baserunner of the day was Braves outfielder
Roy "The Natural" Hobbs, who drew a walk but was later caught stealing. The first hit in All-Star history was a single by Dodgers first baseman
Oscar "The Kid" Vancini in the 2nd off Washington ace
Jethro "Dodge" Lee. Vancini also scored the first run when the next batter, Giants third baseman
Dale Lamberty, stroked a triple. The first homerun was hit by Athletics centerfielder
Ben "Rabbi" Baum. It was a 2-run shot that came in the 4th inning off Brooklyn's
Max Baxter, and it gave the AL a 2-1 lead.
All in all, four homeruns were hit. Yankee outfielder
"Moonlight" Graham hit a 2-run shot off
Buck Anderson in the 5th, and in the same inning, Detroit's
Troy Kinnear hit a solo homer off
John "Bucky" Smith. The NL's only homerun came in the 8th inning when Giants outfielder
Foglesong Allen lifted a long shot off White Sox reliever
William Bordui.
A's pitcher
Mark Ponfick got the win after pitching a scoreless 4th and 5th inning for the AL. Baxter drew the loss for allowing Baum's game-winning blast. Baum was then named All-Star MVP for going 2-for-3 with 2 runs scored, 3 RBI, a walk and a homerun.
