The 1934 baseball season saw Babe Ruth hit his 700th home run (a club of which he would be the sole member for nearly 40 years; the man who would be next, Henry Aaron, was born this very year), Carl Hubbell whiff Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and Cronin in succession at the All-Star Game, and Joe DiMaggio signed by the Yankees from San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League. In the Fall Classic, the American League Champion Detroit Tigers (101-53) face off (again) against the National League Champion Saint Louis Cardinals (95-58) . . .
Great job Joe!
