1935 All-Star Game Play by Play

Retrosheet is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1989 for the purpose of computerizing play-by-play accounts of as many pre-1984 major league games as possible. Their research is without parallel, beyond exceptional, and in a league by itself. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present this play-by-play account of the 1935 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"(Mel) Harder had created an All-Star record the previous year with his consecutive scoreless innings pitched, and extended the record to eight, with three more shutout innings to end the game." - Total Baseball
