Notes & reviews

  • Low throw to the grandstand
  • Bennett lost high fly in the sun and it dropped at his feet
  • High bounder
  • Picked it off the Yankee dugout roof
  • Too hot for Robertson
  • Great running catch past the cinder track robbed Ruth
  • High tricky bounder that Wanninger could barely knock down
  • Spectacular 1-handed catch
  • Off Wanninger's glove
  • Past Gehrig
  • Gehrig's dash ended with a head-first slide under Hargrave
