The 1935 Philadelphia Athletics season involved the A's finishing eighth in the American League with a record of 58 wins and 91 losses.
Before 1935, 20th Street residents could see games for free over the 12-foot right-field fence of Shibe Park and fans could see the laundry lines on the roofs of 20th Street houses. Connie Mack lost a lawsuit to prevent this, so he built the high right-field 'spite' fence.[1]
