July 2025 - Sports Lunatics - This Date in Sports History - July 13 - The Babe, Teddy Ballgame, Jeff Gillooly and more

It's always interesting every once in a while to look back at what happened on a certain date and kind of analyze what went on and what went down on that date over numerous different years. Of course, mid-July offers us a few different things. There are All-Star games in baseball, of course. Wimbledon can come into play. But then there are outstanding feats that occurred as well. In this one, you'll hear about the first ever Soccer World Cup, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, an unprecedented and singular swap that took place in the NFL, the first All-Star game played outside the United States, some wild things that took place involving sports personalities outside the realm of sports, and the longest ever semi-final match in Wimbledon history. It all happened on that date, July 13, throughout sports history.
