McCarthy Faces Second Guessing After All Star Defeat
In Sincinnati on July 7, Joe McCarthy faced sharp questions over his American League all stars’ loss to the Nations League. Critics argued about pinch hitting for Rudy York and for Bob Johnson in late innings and for leaving Cecil Travis and Red Rolfe on the bench. The ninth inning featured Connie Mack’s Joe Cronin on third with two out, while Johnson struck out as did York in earlier at bats. Medwick’s defensive save and DiMaggio’s earlier single highlighted a hard fought ninth inning in Cleveland.
