Joe McCarthy, the manager of the American League All-Star squad, started six Yankee players and used one pinch-hitter - Myril Hoag, a former Yankee.

Tommy Bridges left the sixth inning with the bases loaded and one out. Bob Feller achieved near-hero status when he ended the threat on a single pitch to Arky Vaughan who grounded into a double play.

Did you know that this was the first time an All-Star game was played in Yankee Stadium and the next one would not occur for twenty-one years?
