The 1936 Major League Baseball All Star Game was held at Braves Field in Boston, and is most notable for the appearance of rookie Joe DImaggio in the starting lineup. Joe didn't do much in this game, but at the break he was hitting .354 with 11 Homeruns, 27 doubles, and 62 RBI. The National League was looking to win their first All-Star game after 3 straight losses by throwing Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals on the mound to start the game. Dizzy led the majors with 30 wins in 1934 and 28 in 1935.
The game was broadcast by the Mutual Radio Network by announcers Fred Hoey and Linus Travers

MLB 19th Century Baseball All Star Game - 1880s vs 1890s Simulation / In today's simulated matchup, we're going back to the roots of baseball, as the 1880s All-Stars face off against their counterparts from the 1890s. The 1880s was a transformative decade for baseball, with the establishment of the National League and the American Association, the first professional baseball league. The 1890s, on the other hand, was a time of consolidation and growth, with the National League absorbing the American Association and expanding to 12 teams. The 1890s also saw the emergence of some of the game's first true superstars, including Cy Young, who will be pitching for the 1890s team in this simulation.
Young, who made his debut in 1890, is one of the most decorated pitchers in baseball history, with his record 511 career wins still standing today. His presence on the mound will certainly add an extra layer of intrigue to this historic matchup. It'll be interesting to see how the 1880s team, featuring hitters more accustomed to the "dead-ball" era, will fare against Young's dominant pitching.
I sincerely appreciate the research work, and the information being shared. It is important and interesting history.
