Did you know that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the first President to attend an All-Star Game, also threw out the first pitch?

Red Rolfe of the New York Yankees became the first all-star player to commit two errors during one Midsummer Classic.

This game marked the end for Lou Gehrig, who was enjoying his last full season, and Dizzy Dean, who broke a toe on his left foot and never fully recovered.
