• Source: 1934 Major League Baseball All-Star Game

      • The 1934 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the second edition of the mid-summer classic between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. It was held on July 10 in Manhattan, New York City, at the Polo Grounds, the home of the New York Giants of the National League, the defending World Series champions. The American League won 9–7, and every starter on both teams except Wally Berger was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
      The game is well known among baseball historians for the performance of NL starting pitcher Carl Hubbell of the host Giants. After allowing the first two batters to reach base on a single and a base on balls, Hubbell struck out five of the game's best hitters – Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin – in succession, setting a longstanding All-Star Game record for consecutive strikeouts.
      Trailing 4–2, the American League scored six times in the top of the fifth inning to take the lead for good. The teams combined for sixteen runs on 22 hits; the two home runs were hit early in the game by the NL (Frankie Frisch, Joe Medwick), both with the St. Louis Cardinals, the World Series champions later that year.
