Item Description
1.25". No maker. Attractive patriotic design w/text "All Star Game Phila. PA." Spring pin holds three ribbons and a metal baseball charm. We believe this is a souvenir from the 11th playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the American and National Leagues. The game was held on July 13, 1943, at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, the home of the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League. The AL defeated the NL 5-3. This was the first major league All-Star Game scheduled as a night game. The lone representative of the host team was Dick Siebert, starting first baseman for the AL, who was hitless in one at bat. Lt. aging of ribbons but all else is Exc. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
