The 1936 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was held at Braves Field in Boston.
It's most notable for the appearance of rookie Joe DiMaggio in the starting lineup.
At the break, he was hitting.354 with 11 home runs, 27 doubles, and 62 RBI.
The National League, looking to win their first All-Star Game after three straight losses,
threw 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.

Enjoy the game!
We're reporting to you now from National League Field in Boston, where the fourth All-Star Game of history will begin in about 15 minutes.
National League Field, a field called Braves Field by the Diet and the Wolfs fans,
will not cease then as this time when the folks covered with big names and baseball.
Early this morning, the fans began to arrive, and with a day that couldn't be any better,
the All-Star Game will make another historical chapter in the series.
The proceeds, as you know, are for newbie ballplayers,
and a good sum will be realized for these men who contributed to the game in other and better days.
This afternoon, the fields, the bleachers are still vacant in a good many sections,
so that we still have a chance for good many fans to come out here and get peeps for the game.
The grandstand, of course, is in reserve, where we fill it up to 55 game times,
but there are still plenty of peeps out there in the bleachers,
many vacant spots being noted by those of us who are in the booth here at the grandstand.
And this attendance now, which I think is at approximately about 28 or 30 thousand,
you think that's a fair estimate Fred, 28 or 30 thousand,
compares this way with the attendance of the previous All-Star Game.
Roaches in Chicago in 1933, where the idea of the game, by the way, was originated by our squad,
the attendance was close to 50 thousand.
In New York in 1934, there were nearly 49 thousand fans,
and in Cleveland last year, almost 70 thousand fans watched the leading players of both leagues.
So far, the fans of the American League have won all of our games, and here's the stuff.
The results of the Blast-Off Star Battles in 1933 at Konitsky Park in Chicago,
the American League has won by a score of 4-2, four runs, 12 hits, and one error.
The National All-Star has two runs, eight hits, and no error.
At that time, Hallahan, Warnocky, and Hubbell, and Wilson, and Hartnett,
and Gomez, Carter, Grove, Benwick, Perl, around the mound and tracking with specs.
In 1934 at the Polo grounds in New York, the American League has again won by a score of 9-7,
nine runs, 14 hits, and one error. The National League has seven runs, eight hits, and one error.
And the batteries, Hubbell, Warnocky, Mungo, Busydeen, Frankhouse, and Hartnett, and Lopez,
Gomez, Ruffing, Harder, Vicki, and Cochran.
In 1935 at the Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, the American League has again won,
this time by a score of 4-1, four runs, eight hits, and no errors.
The National League has one run, four hits, and one error.
Walker, Tumac, and Berringer, Busydeen, and Wilson, and Hartnett, Gomez, Carter, and Henry, were the best.
And now, plenty of the fans are out here today hoping for a National League win.
Advancing the idea that Charlie Grimm will make it a ballgame with plenty of fight in it
rather than a parade of stars before the fans, they expect to see the National League
as a voice of force to keep in this all-star series.
Joe McCarty, the American League manager, said to the committee for Mickey Cotton,
except for being fond of the feeling that the game should be considered an exhibition game
and that plenty of substitutions could be made in order to give the fans a chance to see their face.
More than two million fans have made the selections of the players,
and each manager is adding to the results of the polls his own selections of additional players.
And here is the squad as it is out here at National League Field of A's for the American League.
In the outfield, don't imagine, New York, early April season,
Luke Gatlin of Detroit, George Selkirk of New York, Ray Ratsap of Chicago, Ben Chapman of Washington,
Ian Fielders, Wally Garinger of Detroit, Luke Gatlin of Chicago, Frank Pacetti of New York,
Luke Derrig of New York, Jimmy Fox of Boston, Boston Redparks, and Frankie Higgins of Philadelphia.
This is Leslie Grove of Boston, Vernon Kennedy of Chicago, Mel Harder of Cleveland, Vernon Gomez of New York,
Monte Kershman of New York, and Shulboi Rowe of Detroit. That's just Rick Perrow of the Red Sox, Bill Dickey of the Yankees,
and Raleigh Hemsley of St. Louis. The manager of our total will be Joe McCarty who's substituting for Mickey Stockings,
and Joe Cunningham, the Red Sox manager, will be a coach along with Arthur Fletcher of New York,
with a co-owner for the American League squad, Scott Tindall of New York.
And here's the National League squad as it will fit in the bag out. Outfield is Joe Medrick St. Louis,
Mel Art in New York, Wally Berger of Boston, Argie DeLong of Chicago, Frank Cremere of Chicago, Joe Moore of New York.
Infielders will be Bill Herman of Chicago, Aki Vaughn of Pittsburgh, Jimmy Collins St. Louis, Leota Rocha of St. Louis,
Bill Riggs of Cincinnati, Gus Stewart of Pittsburgh, Bill Martin of St. Louis, and Arthur Whitney of County of Akerskin.
The pitchers will be Dizzy Jean of St. Louis, Kyle Hubbell of New York, Kirk Davis of Chicago,
Van Mungo of Brooklyn, Lon Warnocky of Chicago, and the catchers will be Gabby Houghton of Chicago,
and Ernie Lombardi of Cincinnati. Charlie Broom will manage the National League squad,
and the coaches will be Bill McKechnie of the Boston Bees and Jimmy Wilson of Philadelphia.
The trainer is Andy Lockjaw of Chicago, and the umpires for today's game will be Bill Stewart, John R. Riddon,
William Summers, and Louis Cole. And for the win when he gives you the play-by-play to Strypton,
we'll give you the starting lineup as it is announced for the beginning of the game this afternoon.
There goes a cheer from the crowd and the applause as that comedy man of baseball, Al Schaac,
comes out to a square ring which has been five fighting rings which has been just put up just on the third base line.
And Al with his characteristic long tailed coat and with his under-draws,
and that's what he's wearing today, showing with a soft roll down, has gone into his old gag
with a few of his trainers and a second down there, and that's pantomime dice game.
And as he rolls the dice and calls for the lock of the corner which he gets,
he loses and of course goes through the characteristic motions of the man who has lost what he wants to win.
And now he has taken his long tailed coat off and he has a pair of purple tights and a jersey that is half white and half black.
He's made up to resemble a colored boxer and I don't know whether he's going to a pantomime
or whether he's going to have an opponent. I guess it's going to be a little shadow boxing.
He steps out to receive the applause of the crowd. His seconds take him over to the corner,
one corner and then the other so that Al Schaac is going to play both corners.
And now there is the referee as he raises his hand and Al Schaac still arms to him,
and I think that this will be a shadow boxing exhibition on the part of Al Schaac.
While Al is going through that pantomime down there, let me give you the batting averages of the outfielders
and the American League squad. The Nugger of New York, 358, Avril of Cleveland, 348,
12th of New York, 318, Radcliffe of Chicago, 375, Kaplan of Washington, 285, and Garvin of Detroit, 321.
And boy, those two are out batting average. The catchers are Dickie of New York, 362,
Hemsley of St. Louis, 298, and Rick Ferrell of Boston, 280.
All of this cheering and laughter which you hear from the background, from the fans here,
for Al Schaac who has just knocked himself down as he is doing a shadow boxing.
There's the count on the part of the referee. He gets up at the count of four and as he gets up,
he gets his own glove in the way, knocks himself out again, and the water boy and all the seconds left in
to see if they can revive Mr. Schaac. Again, the batting averages of the American League
are given to the infielders, Geringa of Detroit, 356, Affling of Chicago, 370,
Gerrig of New York, 399, Jimmy Ponce of Boston, 331, Higgins of Philadelphia, 285,
and Percetti of New York, 319. That laughter from the fans came as Al Schaac went to his corner
and is supposedly knocked out and instead of him being revived, he started to revive his trainer
who assumed his place on the stool in the corner. Schaac is now divvying himself around down there.
As he is made up in blackface, as I have told you, half of his face is black and the other half has not had any makeup on it.
And he is going through now a slow motion gag of his which has always been particularly popular with the fans.
The referee is also going through the slow motion and with a slow motion smack to his skin,
he is going through all of the different punches that you see when you see a pride fight.
He is right down in slow motion and I think he is getting a little applause for this gesture
as he knocks himself out in slow motion and the audience is relaxed and in response.
There is a big puddle of water right there safe which takes his makeup off and the fans are being treated to a lot of fun here
before the ball is started to pass the ball. I think we can pick up the applause from out there for our Schaac.
Thank you very much, Donny.
Second for taking down the ring from the third baseline and Schaac now is posing for the various photographers
after he has given his comedy sketch to the fans who are here at the National League here.
Still plenty of seats in the bleachers with Lexington's here so that those who live around the territory
where the game is being played, if they get out here I think they'll have a chance to get some seats this afternoon.
Don't you think so, Brad?
It would be a great game to come out and watch and it's a wonderful day for a ball game.
Let me give you now the records of the pictures in the American League All-Star scores.
Wesley Grove of Boston, 110 and lost three. Gomez of New York, 17 and lost three.
Ronnie Kemp of New York, 111 and lost three.
Goodboy Roe of Detroit, 17 and lost four. Kennedy of Sadler, 19 and lost four.
Cleveland, 110 and lost six. There are the averages for the American League squad.
Now let's look over at the National League statistics.
The outfielders we have Medlick of St. Louis, 329.
Hart of New York, 321. Berger of Boston, 268.
Demaray of Chicago, 328. Moore of New York, 307.
And Augie Gellarne of Chicago, 284.
Two catches on the National League squad. Hartnett of Chicago and Lombardi of Cincinnati.
Hartnett with 308 average and Lombardi with 314.
And the infield averages of the members of the squad.
Herman of Chicago, 316. Lorne of Pittsburgh, 292.
Seward of Pittsburgh, 349. Collins of St. Louis, 329.
Turing Martin of St. Louis, 349.
Piggy Whitney of Philadelphia, 277. The older roaster of St. Louis, 301. And Riggs of Cincinnati, 251.
And here is the average of the pitchers of the National League squad.
Lizzie Deena of St. Louis, 114 and lost four.
That's against Betsy Grove, winning of 10 and losing a three game.
Hubbell of New York, 10 and five.
Mungo of Brooklyn, eight, one eight and lost ten.
Warnocky of Chicago, one eight, one eight and lost four.
And Davis of Chicago, an even up with seven and seven.
And Freddie, I have a note for me, which I'd like you to put in, Fred.
Will you give the value of my phone here?
Goal was 111 and lost three. He won seven games.
Okay, I could have told you, fans, that these statistics that I'm giving to you come up for the holiday games.
And Fred, of course, who is broadcasting the games every day here, always has the last minute statistics.
So the Betjors left the another win.
That was the one and nothing shutout, wasn't it, Fred, over the athletic.
And now the umpires of the day, Bill Stewart and Johnny Redden and Bill Summers and Louis Coles are down around home plate.
And I think that's the few minutes they'll be detecting the ground rules with the board of strategy of the American League as well as the National League squad.
I think there's Joe Coleman down there, the Red Sox and Arthur Fletcher of New York and Joe Masabi, the American League board of strategy.
And I've been touring with Ben, Charlie Gim and the others who are managing along with him, Joe McTexas of the D and Jimmy Wilson of Philadelphia.
So the back-up that you're doing now, and I'm going to ask Fred if he'll give you the starting lineup of the All-Star game.
You want that.
All right, well, I understand it.
All right.
Hello, everybody.
Fred Hoy speaking.
I'd like to broadcast the All-Star game between the Americans and the Sweet Team.
Here's the American League batting order.
Batting number one is Luke Affleck, the shortstop from the White Sox.
Batting number two is Charlie Carringer, the second baseman from Detroit.
Batting number three is Joe DiMaggio, playing right field from the York Inks.
Batting number four is Luke Gehry, first baseman from the New York Inks.
In center field, batting number five is Earl Averill, center fielder from Cleveland.
Then comes Rick Perrow, the catcher from the Red Sox.
Left field, Rip Radcliffe from the White Sox.
And Frank Pinky Higgins, third baseman.
And comes Lefty Gold, the pitcher.
And to the National League, batting number one is Augie Galland from the Chicago Cubs, center fielder.
Batting number two is Billy Herman, second baseman from the Chicago Cubs.
Batting number three is Ripp Collins, first baseman from the Cardinals.
In left field is Joe Medlich from the Cardinals.
In right field, Frank Demery from the Chicago Cubs.
Catcher, Gabby Hartner from the Chicago Cubs.
Third baseman, Pinky Whitman from the Phillies.
And top, field derosier from the St. Louis Cardinals.
And pitcher, Dizzy Dean on the card.
Lefty Gold pitching for the American League team is 111 games to all three.
Dizzy Dean pitching for the National League team is 114 and all four.
The umpires are now on the huddle down there with the coaches and captains over the ground road here.
Since they've changed this field around here, they've moved it 15 feet to the left here.
Here are the grandstands.
They have to have very long discussion before every series on the new ground road.
The umpires are playing. We'll be seeing Britain.
And we don't want to just have those other umpires go out of work.
The other umpires are Bill Summers, Bill Stewart, and Louis Cole.
And three of those umpires come from Massachusetts.
Bill Stewart is from Milton, Massachusetts.
Bill Summers is from Upton, Massachusetts.
And Dean's written, born and raised in Taunton, Massachusetts.
The first batter coming up for the American League will be Luke Adling.
Luke is 25 years old, stands 5'10, and weighs 175.
Last season Luke batted 307. He's now batting 315.
A lot of 375 fans.
He's second to Luke Adling in the American League batting average.
Adling has played in one home star game.
He went to bat four times, made one hit, and had an average of 250.
We have another chance to see this incredible player, Joe DiMaggio here, Bob Yankee.
And recently Joe Cole, manager at the Red Sox, made him a wonderful tribute.
He says, Joe says, if I had a boy whom I wanted to teach the proper way to bat,
I can study DiMaggio at the plate.
When I first broke into the major leagues, several good batters gave me some very definite instructions.
I can remember all the things they told me to do right now.
And when I see DiMaggio up at bat, I can't help recall those instructions
because he does everything just according to Hoyle.
DiMaggio stands with his bat steady and ready.
He takes only a short step, hits with a level swing.
He delays his swing until he sees what type of kick is coming.
He inside pitches. He punches outside pitches to right field.
He seems to be a batter without a weakness. He seldom strikes out.
When you get him out, you consider yourself lucky.
That's a wonderful tribute to that successful boy, Joe DiMaggio,
who stands with his home by his fellow township, Joe Corran, manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Now, I'm probably still discussing the ground rules out of here.
There's Charlie Grimm, Joe McCartney, Bill McKechnie, Joe Corran, Leo DeRosa, everybody but Al Jack.
They're really phenomenal from the field. They've got a plate up there on the top of the front box.
And we're about to start this game.
The grandstand is well filled up.
Some people in the left field are going to be too.
And also on first base.
The grandstand is fairly well filled up.
We're ready to go.
That's a man. Here's Langer.
Thank you very much, Bud.
Well, we've been beginning a little difficulty before we start our game down here.
The umpires and the managers of both clubs, the All-Star clubs, have been in a long conference down here on the ground rules.
And, Bud, you check me if I'm incorrecting this, but I think that they have gone through this conference just beyond home plate.
And I think I probably overheard the umpire call for Judge Lander over there.
Yes, I think that's right. Isn't that the commissioner who's coming up?
And now the both boards of strategy and the umpires are conferring with Judge Lander just outside the dugout of the American Regal.
So we're wearing the traveling uniform today.
And the conference, imagine, will be over some point of the ground rules.
This is the largest slaying effort of any field in either league.
And, of course, no ground rules are in effect because there's still plenty of room for the crowd here.
And, of course, before the game began, Bob Finn, with Rich Kyle, according to this game, over in Washington,
has given out the information that only the capacity of 42,000 would be allowed.
That's a still chance for a few thousand to get into the game.
There's the judge who once again has stepped in to the ground rules argument.
And there goes the applause from the crowd as the judge goes back to his box beyond the dugout.
And the umpires want to take their positions on the field.
And the National League will take the field if they go off the dugout.
And here's Fred Hoy for a play-by-play description.
Take it away, Fred.
Here we are.
And once more, I'll give you that batting on.
It'll be Mark and me, Hampton, North Stop, Garinger, Second Base, DiMaggio, Right Field,
Geary, First Base, Able, Center Field, Brickwell, Catch, Radcliffe, Left, Hagegans on Third, and Grove, Youth, Pickle.
And in the field for the National League, Brooke Collins on First Base, Billy Herman is on Second,
Leo DeRose is playing in the short, Pinky Whitney is on Third, Joe Medwitch is in Left,
Paul Eaglin in the center, and Frank Jemmell is in Right.
The DGD is out there now warming up with Gabby Hyman, Luke Hampling, next to the bat.
And once more, Luke Hampling is 25 years old, stands 5th and weighs 175.
Luke Hampling was born and grew up here, and now makes his home in High Point, North Carolina.
The RCC batting 307, he's now batting 275, he's number 2nd in the batting order,
and there's a cold strike on Hampling, cold strike on Luke Hampling,
now Dizzy Brady, got his motion and here's the pitch again.
Another cold strike, two strikes on Hampling, boy how that team is buzzing him in there.
Another cold strike, two strikes, two and a half, and here it comes, foul, right field, foul ground,
coaching at First Base, Paul E. Merrigan, Joe Collins, Merrigan will be lost to Weston,
and at Third Base, coaching is on Western.
Too high, ball one, two strikes, one ball, the count on Hampling, two and one.
And Dizzy's got the motion, here it comes, too high and close, ball two, two and two.
Dizzy appears to be working very fast out there, the count on Hampling is two and two.
Next batter is Carringer, following Carringer is Joe DiMarco.
Two and two, and here it comes, as a foul, First Base reaches, two and two.
Down by the plate, it seems we're in at First Base, two summers, at Second,
and a third, Louis Cole, too high and close, ball three, three and two, the count on Hampling,
three and two, now Dizzy starts his motion, and here it comes, another foul,
over the roof, two, three and two, three balls, two strikes.
Dizzy's on the rubber, Dodgers wind up, here it comes, too high and he walks,
Joe Hampling hits the base on ball, that brings up Talley Garages,
second baseman from Detroit, left hand batter.
Talley is 33 years old, stands 5'11", weighs 180.
Talley was born in Farleville, Michigan, now lives in Detroit, Michigan.
Last season he batted 330, now batting 366.
He's number three in American League and batting, being led by Luke Garrick and Luke Affleck.
Been in three All-Star games and has batted 444 of the three games.
Ball strike on Carringer, one of the greatest second basemen of all time.
Right in the crowd was Larry Lesway, Betty Collins and Johnny Evers.
There's a foul out there, left field foul bound, over goes Whitney Borg and Pinky Connery.
On the count on Carringer, two strikes.
Doing nothing.
Another great second baseman I failed to mention just a moment ago is Frankie Frisch,
Dodgers manager with a great second base.
Doing nothing, two strikes on Carringer, Hampling on first, nobody out.
There's a foul in the play box.
This play box certainly is jammed.
We have fighters from all over the country.
A great one right over there, Bill Cunningham, Damon Rungan.
Doing nothing.
There's a pump fly down to DeRozier's short field catch it.
Carringer pops out to DeRozier's short, one man gone.
And here comes that fantastic Joe DiMaggio, from San Francisco.
Joe is 21 years old, stands 6 feet, broadweights 185.
He was born in Montanese, California, now lives in San Francisco.
Bounding.358 for the Yankees, last year was San Francisco, he batted.399.
And there's a foul down to Whitney, fourth play at second and a double play at first.
Joe DiMaggio hits in the double play, DiMaggio.
Fouls to Whitney at third, Whitney.
Goes to Billy Herman on second, forcing Hampling.
Then Herman gets that ball over to Collins' first base and doubles up DiMaggio.
Then the double play went around on third and second of first.
That's the goal, gets a great hand as he jumps to the mound, Paul DiMaggio.
Highly-decent first inning, batter number one is Luke Hampling, he walks.
DiMaggio is the batter number two, pops out to DeRozier's short.
Then Joe DiMaggio hits a double play, Whitney's at third base, goes to Herman the second, makes one forcing Hampling.
And Herman gets that ball over to first base and doubles up DiMaggio.
Here comes Hoggie Collins, the center fielder, batter number one for the Yankees.
Hoggie is 23 years old, stands 5'11.5 and weighs 164.
Last season Hoggie batted.314, now batting.284.
This is his first All-Star game, his home is in Berkeley, California.
A little bit confusing here, fans, the players are using their regular numbers to be used for their home team.
We have four number fours on the Margalit team.
Too high, ball one.
One other one more, McCown on the land, right hand batter.
Hoggie, the land following the Chicago Cubs.
Now let's be shot at motion.
And here it comes, a goal strike on Hoggie, one and one, one ball, one strike.
One and one, Bill McKechnie, the Dees managers coaching at third base for the Nationals.
And then Piper, the Pittsburgh managers coaching at first.
Right to Hoggie Queen, two strikes, one ball, two and one on Galan.
On the last half of first inning, it's been no score.

We have the champion telegrapher of the world here at the first pass today,
sending Dean of London's baseball story, Dana Teddy McElroy.
Let me have all the champion leaders here, look around.
Well, here we go, last half of second, the first batter, Frank Demery.
Frank Demery, right-footed, right-hand batter.
Frank is 25 years old, has 5'11.5", weighs 185.
Last season, Frank batted 325, now batting 328.
Born in Woodland, California, now lives in Los Angeles.
Ball's tied on Frank.
One-on-one strike.
There's a quick question again, a single to left, right between, right between
Anthony and Higgin.
Demery, single to left, open an actual second.
Good shot there.
That brings up Gabby Houghton, catch it right-hand batter.
25 years old, stands 6'1", weighs 215.
Gabby was born on one target.
Lifts his 30 days in Millville, now lives in Chicago.
Gabby's batting 308, last season he batted 344.
He was third in the National League batting last season, third to hockey ball and geometry.
Gabby's third all-star game, paid to make a hit, and the count is one ball on Houghton.
Two high and one, ball two, two and nothing.
Demery on first base, nobody out.
Two and nothing.
Two high, ball three, three and nothing.
Next batter is Pinky Whitney, followed by Leo DeRosa.
Three balls, no strikes, the count on Houghton.
Ball strike, three and one, three balls, one strike.
Three and one.
Now Grove is ready.
There they line drive to right, and to my own.
It goes to DiMaggio, it goes to Fence, here comes Demery scoring.
Here goes Gabby, two third base, and he's in there.
Let's see, that's a three-bagger for Gabby Houghton, a terrific drive out there to Joe DiMaggio.
Joe came tearing it apart, and the ball got fired, and went to the fence.
404 feet for a triple, and the first run of the game.
Demery scoring from first base on a triple.
National one, American nothing out of the sweet drive.
Joe Houghton didn't play that ball any too safe.
Now here's Pinky Whitney, third base, the right-hand batter up.
There they fly to deep center.
Able backs up for it, near the fence, he takes it, and here comes Gabby scoring after catch.
By that wave, we'll keep center field, and after catch, Houghton goes to third base with a second run ball and answer.
That brings up Leo DeRogge, touchdown, right-hand batter.
Leo's 30 years old, he has 5'10", weighs 160 pounds, strike.
Last season, Leo batted 265, he's now batting 301.
Leo was born in one Springfield, Massachusetts, and he now makes it home in Cincinnati.
Why don't they look back?
Too low.
Ball one, one and one.
Go off and feed that to Joe DeMont, he'll play a ball like that.
There's a single to center field by Leo DeRogge, single to center field, and Able lets the ball go slowly, he recovers,
and Leo tries to take second base, and he's thrown out, Able to Able.
DeRogge is single to center field, and when the ball got thrown between Able's legs all the way from about 10 feet,
Leo tried to go to second base, and was thrown out, Able to Able and he's shot down.
Leo to second base.
Did he get him, Bobby? Did you? Right-hand batter.
Did he 25 years old, he has 6'3", 3 quarters, weighs 189.
Did he was born in Polandville, Oklahoma, he now lives in Bradenton, Florida.
Right, right field, he brings two strikes on, did he?
No one having two strikes?
Two enemies.
And, team strikes out.
I'm going to repeat that inning again.
Demary, batter number one, single left, Gabby Harden, triple by DeMont,
right field scoring Demary for first base, and Vicki Whitney, right after Able, deep center field,
and after catch, Harden scores the third base.
And DeRogge is single to center field, and when Able split the ball between his legs and was thrown away about 10 feet,
Leo tried to go to second base, and was thrown out, Able to Able and he's shot down.
And did he get him, tuck out.
That's it, over to the line of center, now here I am, thank you very much Fred, that was certainly a swelling in the watch fans when Demary and single were the first hit of the game.
And that was a line drive derived by Gabby Harden, it was a terrific drive, it went through the match, as Fred told you, and it was sort of a triple for Harden.
And then that long fly, Earl Able got to go out to the almost the 407 foot marker out in center field,
in order to get the long fly which followed, therefore the scoring of Gabby Harden from third base and here's Fred Boyne now to give you the play by play.
Here's the red flip up, we're going to the first half of the third, what is called, national two, American heavy.
And there they fall, 9-1-1.
And here's Fred with that bat in the second inning when Luke Garrett was caught napping off first base.
One and one.
Final of the three, strike two.
Two strikes, one ball.
Two and one, two strikes, one ball.
Red flip batting, and here's the hit.
Two old balls, two and two.
Two and two.
And they're going right back to Dean and Dixie, throws them out of first base.
He just throws out red flip at first, that brings up Frank Dixie, Dixie Higgins, the third base, on the F-30.
Higgins up.
Dixie's 47 years old, dancing, speaks all, weighs 180.
Dixie's at a 296, he's now at a 285, he was born in Legos, Texas, he now lives in Dallas, Texas.
Ball strikes, one and one on Higgins.

The pitchers are now warming up, in left field is Jimmy Wilson warming up Kyle Hubbell, and in right field, Jack Schulie is warming up schoolboy Rolls.
He has a high foul going over into the grandstand, Rip Collins can't reach it.
He's out, his two balls, two strikes on Higgins.
Two and two, one man gone, one the first half of third, here it comes, and Higgins strikes out.
Ball tip, caught by Gabby Harnard, Higgins strikes out, that brings up Leslie Gold, the pitcher.
