It didn't surprise me that much because I know how these fans are here in Boston. The first thing baseball ought to do is eliminate the special uniforms the teams wear for batting practice. The American League players wore white pants, red sleeveless tops and blue T-shirts. The National League wore blue tops. The uniforms are too commercial and just another way for baseball to make money through souvenir sales.
Fans come to see players in their regular baseball uniforms.
Naturally, Babe Ruth hit a home run. 1934, Polo Grounds, New York. NL pitcher Carl Hubbell strikes out in order Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in the first and second innings. The AL won 9-7. 1941, Briggs Stadium, Detroit. 1948, Sportsman's Park, St. Louis.
