The Senators won the pennant, Jimmie Foxx won the Triple Crown, and the All-Star Game was played for the first time.

Best player: Jimmie Foxx. The A's finished only 3rd, as Connie Mack's second fire sale was under way, but Foxx was dominating the league. A fearsome hitter.

Best pitcher: Lefty Grove. He wasn't as dominating as before, and the signs of 1934's troubles are there. But he was still the best in the league. Would have only been #3 or #4 in the NL this year.

Best rookie: Indian Bob Johnson debuted at age 27 and batted .290 with 21 HR and 93 RBI for the A's, giving them a sweep of the player awards.

Best Hitter: Jimmie Foxx
Foxx wins the triple crown and beats out Gehrig and Ruth by quite a wide margin.

Best Pitcher: Mel Harder
Even though he had a losing record Harder was the league leader in ERA+ by 11 points in 250+ innings.
