The first ML All-Star Game is played at Comiskey Park‚ and‚ appropriately‚ Babe Ruth is the star‚ though he finished 6th in the voting. Al Simmons and Chuck Klein were the top two vote-getters. Ruth strikes out against Lon Warneke‚ but his 2-run HR is the margin of victory in the AL's 4-2 win. Lefty Gomez‚ the starter and winner‚ also knocks in the game's first run. John McGraw comes out of retirement to manage the NL. The match draws 49‚200 fans who pay $52‚000.
