The 1936 Major League Baseball All Star Game was held at Braves Field in Boston, and is most notable for the appearance of rookie Joe DImaggio in the starting lineup. Joe didn't do much in this game, but at the break he was hitting .354 with 11 Homeruns, 27 doubles, and 62 RBI. The National League was looking to win their first All-Star game after 3 straight losses by throwing 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.
The game was broadcast by the Mutual Radio Network by announcers Fred Hoey and Linus Travers
