July 6, 1933 - The first ever All Star Game is played in
Comiskey Park. The White Sox won a coin flip with the Cubs for
the right to host the game that was the idea of Chicago Tribune
sports editor “Arch” Ward. The A.L. won the game 4 - 2 thanks to
a home run by Babe Ruth.The White Sox representatives in that
first game were third baseman Jimmie Dykes and outfielder Al
Simmons.

I think it would be "neat" if cards had more of "The Funniest
Incident In A Game" -type stuff a la Trucks' card.
Although the back of the Norton one has some amusing bits as
well.

Just the fact that he told that story and allowed it to be on
the back of a card shows that Trucks had a sense of humor. Too
many of today's players take themselves way too seriously.

On July 7 in Baseball History...
1900 - Boston hurler Kid Nichols notches his 300th career
victory, beating Chicago 11-4. The win comes two months before
his 31st birthday, making him the youngest to ever reach the
magic figure.
1914 - Suffering heavy losses from Federal League competition in
Baltimore, Jack Dunn, owner of the International League Orioles,
offers Babe Ruth (plus Ernie Shore and catcher Ben Egan) for
$10,000 to old friend Connie Mack. Mack refuses, pleading
poverty. Cincinnati, which has a working agreement giving them
the choice of two players, takes outfielder George Twombly and
shortstop Claud Derrick. Dunn finally peddles his threesome to
new owner Joe Lannin of the Red Sox for a reported $25,000.
1922 - Pirates outfielder Max Carey is the busiest man on the
field in a 9-8, 18-inning loss to the Giants. He gets six hits,
draws three walks, has three stolen bases (including one of
home), and catches seven flies.
1923 - Cleveland scores in every inning against the Red Sox, but
playing at home, the team does not bat in the ninth of a
doubleheader opener. They run up an A.L. record twenty-seven
runs, including 13 in the sixth inning, for a 27-3 win. The
Indians keep it up, scoring three in the first inning of the
second game en route to an 8-5 win.
1936 - The N.L., having lost the first three All-Star Games,
wins 4-3 at Fenway Park. After Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell each
pitch scoreless three-inning stints, Curt Davis is hammered by
the A.L., allowing Lou Gehrig's home run, but Lon Warneke shuts
the door.
1937 - Lou Gehrig leads the A.L. All-Stars over the NL 8-3 with
a home run, double, and four RBI. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt attends the game in Washington. Dizzy Dean's toe is
fractured by a drive off the bat of Earl Averill. After the
injury Dean is unable to pitch with the same delivery. He uses
an unnatural motion, causing an arm injury from which he never
recovers.
1942 - A military All-star team that includes Bob Feller, Cecil
Travis, Sam Chapman, Benny McCoy, Johnny Sturm, and Frankie
Pytlak loses 5-0 to A.L. stars in a game at Cleveland in front
of more than 60,000 fans. Military relief receives $160,000.
1948 - The Indians sign Satchel Paige, fabulous veteran Negro
League pitcher. Ridiculed as a Bill Veeck publicity stunt, the
move pays as the 42-year-old Paige finishes 6-1.
1958 - At the N.L. meeting, William Shea outlines plans for a
$12 million stadium at Flushing Meadows, the eventual site of
Shea Stadium.
1959 - The N.L. defeats the AL 5-4 in the All-Star Game at
Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Willie Mays knocks in Hank Aaron
with the deciding run. Don Drysdale pitches perfect ball the
first three innings.
1964 - Johnny Callison's ninth-inning three-run home run off
Dick Radatz caps a four-run rally and gives the N.L. a 7-4 win
in the All-Star Game at Shea Stadium. This evens the series at
17 wins apiece.
1991 - Nolan Ryan misses his eighth no-hitter when California's
Dave Winfield singles in the eighth inning. His 7-0 win,
however, puts Texas in first place at the All-Star break.
1993 - Tom Browning decides that he has seen the view from the
dugout often enough, so he leaves Wrigley Field and watches the
Reds beat the Cubs 4-3 from the roof of a three-story building
across Sheffield Avenue. He is fined $500 for leaving the dugout
- not to mention the ballpark - during a game.

July 7, 2009 - White Sox 1st baseman Paul Konerko launched three
homers in a 10 - 6 win over Cleveland at U.S. Cellular Field.
Konerko had a solo home run, a two run shot and a grand slam in
his finest performance in a White Sox uniform. He became the
12th player in franchise history to drill three home runs in a
game and the 13th to hit at least three. He also became the
first White Sox player to ever hit three in a game at U.S.
Cellular Field.

On July 8 in Baseball History...
1902 - John McGraw, accused by Ban Johnson of trying to wreck
the Baltimore and Washington clubs, negotiates his release from
the Orioles and officially signs to manage the Giants at $11,000
a year. McGraw then swings the sale of the Orioles towards the
Giants and the Reds.
1918 - Babe Ruth's blast over the fence in Fenway scores Amos
Strunk as the Red Sox win 1-0 over Cleveland. Prevailing rules
regarding the winning run scoring ahead of the home run reduce
Babe's home run to a triple. He will tie for the A.L. title with
11 home runs, even though he plays just 95 games.
1935 - The A.L. continues its All-Star Game reign, winning the
third event at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, 4-1. Jimmie Foxx
is the hitting star with a homer and three RBI.
1941 - At the All-Star Game at Briggs Stadium, Ted Williams,
hitting .405 at the break, homers off Chicago Cubs pitcher
Claude Passeau with two out and two on in the ninth inning to
give the A.L. a dramatic 7-5 victory.
1947 - Clutch pinch hits by Luke Appling and Stan Spence lead
the A.L. to a 2-1 win over the N.L. in the All-Star Game at
Wrigley Field. Schoolboy Rowe pinch-hits for Johnny Sain,
becoming the first player to appear for each side. Rowe pitched
three innings for the A.L. in 1936.
1949 - Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson are the first blacks to
play for the Giants. Thompson, who was also the first black to
play for the St. Louis Browns (in 1947), starts at second base,
and Irvin pinch-hits in the eighth. When Thompson steps in
against Don Newcombe, it is the first time in Major League
history that a black pitcher and a black hitter have faced off.
The Dodgers win the game 4-3.
1951 - The feud between Joe DiMaggio and Casey Stengel reaches a
head. In the second inning of a game, because of a misplay in
the first, Stengel sends reserve Jackie Jensen out to center
field to relieve the Yankee Clipper after he had already taken
his position.
1952 - The N.L. defeats the A.L. 3-2 behind the pitching of the
Phils' Curt Simmons and the Cubs' Bob Rush in Philadelphia. The
game is ended after five innings because of rain. Hank Sauer's
homer with Stan Musial aboard in the fourth proves to be the
deciding run.
1957 - The owners decide to re-elect Commissioner Ford Frick to
another seven-year term when his present contract is up in 1958.
1958 - The A.L. edges the N.L. 4-3 in the All-Star Game, played
at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. The Yankees Gil McDougald
singles to score Boston's Frank Malzone with the deciding run.
1976 - Randy Jones beats the Cubs 6-3 for his 16th win of the
year for the Padres, an N.L. record for wins at the All-Star
break. He beats the Cubs 6-3. In the second half of the season,
the Padres lefty will lose seven games by one run, including two
1-0 scores.
1980 - The N.L. wins its ninth consecutive All-Star Game 4-2 at
Dodger Stadium. Reds outfielder Ken Griffey has two hits,
including a home run, to win the game's MVP Award.
1982 - Billy Martin records his 1,000th career win as a manager
as the A's beat the Yankees 6-3.
1997 - Sandy Alomar, Jr., who has a 30-game hitting streak to
end the first half of the season, slams a two-run home run in
front of the hometown crowd at Jacobs Field to lead the AL to a
3-1 win in the All-Star Game. Alomar is named the game's MVP for
helping end the N.L.'s three-game winning streak.
