1935 All-Star Game

The game was played in Cleveland, so the AL was the home team. Bill Walker started for the NL and Lefty Gomez for the AL. Here's how it went.

Joe Vosmik led off the bottom of the first with a walk and scored on a Jimmie Foxx sac fly. AL leads 1-0.

Jimmie Wilson tripled off Lefty Grove in the top of the fifth and then scored on Pepper Martin's single to tie the game 1-1.

The Nationals took the lead in the eighth on a strange sequence. Arky Vaughan walked and then went to third after singles by Mel Ott and Ducky Medwick. With the bases loaded and Mel Harder on the mound for the AL, Harder inexplicably balks to score Vaughan! NL leads 2-1.

Buddy Myer led off the eighth with a walk and then scored when Earl Averill drew a bases loaded walk against Dizzy Dean. Game tied 2-2.

In the bottom of the tenth Ben Chapman doubles off Paul Derringer. That brings pitcher Tommy Bridges to the plate. I tried to play everybody, so I have no pinch-hitter for Bridges. But Bridges is not a terrible hitter for a pitcher - he hit .239. You can see where this is going, no? Sure enough, Bridges doubles to score Chapman with the winning run. Bridges gets the walk off double and the Win too.
