This Day in History: , Major League Baseball’s First All-Star Game Is Held.

July 6, 1933.

Hailed as "The Game of the Century," it took place at Comiskey Park in Chicago.

For the first time in MLB history, the best players from each division would compete on the same team.

MLB took a hard hit during the initial years of The Great Depression.

Game attendance fell by 40%.

The All-Star game was one of many promotional events created to entice people back to the ballpark.

Since then, the MLB All-Star Game has been organized every year except for 1945.

The 2020 All-Star Game was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic

This Day in History: FDR Signs the Beer and Wine Revenue Act

This Day in History:, FDR Signs the Beer and Wine Revenue Act. March 22, 1933.

The act was part of FDR's New Deal, a series of economic measures intended to pull America out of The Great Depression. It was one of his first actions as president. Its passage signaled the repeal of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act, which prohibited the sale of alcohol in the U.S. While a victory for the powerful temperance movement, Prohibition increased illegal trafficking of alcohol.
