The Union-Tribune countdown to the 87th All-Star Game, July 12 at Petco Park, counts up from the first All-Star Game in Chicago to last year's contest in Cincinnati
The inaugural All-Star Game
American League 4, National League 2
July 6, 1933, at Comiskey Park, Chicago
Starting pitchers: Bill Hallahan, Cardinals; Lefty Gomez, Yankees.
Managers: John McGraw, N.Y. Giants; Connie Mack, Philadelphia A’s.
Highlight: Fittingly, the Yankees' Babe Ruth hit the first home run in All-Star Game history. His two-run homer just inside the right-field foul pole in the third inning off Hallahan was the difference in the game.
