Mel Ott Lingers In All Star Memories Of 12 Straight Picks
A veteran glimpse shows Mel Ott of the New York Giants named to 12 All Star teams over 13 years, missing only 1933. The 1945 All Star game was not played, yet managers’ selections sparked debate on hitting power and pitching depth across the American and National Leagues. Proceeds from seven charity games raised $225,000 for war veterans, with 179,025 attendees over two days, and notable fundraising in Boston. Also noted: a no-hit bid by two Chicago softball pitchers and hiccups in sightseeing travel for Jimmy Dykes’ White Sox ahead of a Senators series.
