Notes & reviews

Deflected by Bush
Great catch
Running catch
Off Shocker's glove
1-handed catch
Infield hit past McManus
Between innings, Bush complained to the umpires about the actions of a certain fan behind the Yankee dugout who was directing wild gestures towards Bush. Bush broke away and headed into the stands after him. Police, umpires, and players returned Bush to the dugout. Extra police were rushed in to prevent fans from causing further disorder.
Bush was hissed and jeered as he strutted to the plate. He took off his cap and made a formal bow to the crowd.
Hot smash
Ruth ejected by 1B umpire Rowland for arguing he was safe at 2B
