The only two surviving players from the first All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium (Bob Feller & Lonny Frey) reflect about being on the field with baseball legends like Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey.

BTW, according to this Times article prices charged at the game (July 11, 1939) included $2.20 for a box seat ticket, 55 cents for a bleacher seat and a acorecard was a nickel.
