Notes & reviews

  • During batting practice Wally Pipp was struck above the right ear by a pitch thrown by Charlie Caldwell, rendering him unconscious. He staggered for a few moments and fell. He was carried to the clubhouse and regained consciousness within a few minutes, but shortly after again became insensible. He suffered from violent nausea but no bleeding (as was the case with Ray Chapman). Pipp was taken to St. Vincent Hospital where he recovered quickly.
  • Rommel beat Combs to the bag; no SH so possible drag bunt
  • Hoyt looked at 3B then 2B before finally throwing to 1B. As soon as Hoyt turned away from 3B Miller raced home and scored about the time the ball got to 1B.
  • Into LF bleachers
  • Running catch
  • Past Ward
  • Sharply hit off Gehrig's glove
  • Running stop
  • Miller must've thought the ball would be caught in the air because he clung to 1B. If Gehrig had tagged him first before touching the bag, it would've been a DP.
  • Rommel missed the squeeze bunt
  • Over RF wall; it landed on a hand rail of the bleacher exit in RF and hopped down the stairs and out of sight.
  • Meusel hit the first pitch toward LF stands but it curved foul, missing the fair zone 'by the span of a flea's ankle'.
  • Great stop; threw to 1B from a sitting position
  • Schang caught a fast-breaking curve on his bare hand which bruised his fingers badly.
