The follow-up to the inaugural All-Star Game, played the year before at Comiskey Park in Chicago, was a hit again as more than 48, fans came to the Polo Grounds in New York to see a wild game. The National League built a lead after three innings.

However, the main story occurring in the early innings was not in how the National League got its runs but how the American League stayed scoreless during this time. Hubbell, pitching in the home park of his New York Giants, was following up on a year in which he had led the National League with 23 wins, a 1.

At the time of the All-Star Game, he had 12 wins, on his way to 21 for the year the second of five consecutive seasons in which he topped 20 wins and another league-leading ERA. In the All-Star Game, Hubbell had a shaky start. He gave up a leadoff single to Charlie Gehringer who made it to second on when Wally Berger fumbled the ball and walked Heinie Manush. The American League had two on with no out and an incredible heart of the order coming up. Bill Dickey singled to break the strike-out streak, but Hubbell finished the inning by striking out Gomez.

Years later, the legend became one of Hubbell striking out six Hall of Famers although, of course, Gomez made the Hall for his pitching, not hitting, ability. At the time, there was no Hall of Fame, but the feat was still noted. Warneke retired Foxx, the first batter he faced, but then gave up a double to Simmons. Trouble continued in the fifth, and Warneke gave way to Van Lingle Mungo after walking Ruth and Gehrig, the first two batters in the inning.

Foxx greeted Mungo with a single on the first pitch, scoring Ruth and sending Gehrig to third. Much of the play-by-play, game results, and transaction information both shown and used to create certain data sets was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by RetroSheet.
