Notes & reviews

  • Very cold The diamond appeared damp in spots despite its protection in the past few rainy days under tarpaulin. Practically every fan was garbed in a winter overcoat. Yankees introduced their new uniform numbers today.
  • Pipgras had a stretch of 13 pitched balls with just 1 strike
  • Hit into the crowd in the lower deck of the extension of the LF stands, 492' away. Standing ovation for the Babe; he doffed his cap as he rounded 2B and waved it with great flourish in the direction of his new bride sitting in a box behind 3B.
  • Gehrig protested loudly
  • Hit on the handle of the bat
  • Texas Leaguer
  • Meusel: nice running catch
  • Gehrig was caught in rundown but made it back to 3B safely. Meusel had also advanced to 3B and was ruled out.
  • Todt muffed Reeves' low throw
  • Rothrock: acrobatic catch
  • Pinch hitter after 2-1 count to Ruffing
  • Pitching change with 2-0 count
  • Into RF bleachers; Gehrig doffed his cap to cheering crowd
  • Gehrig overran 2B
  • Berry: pretty catch at the screen
  • Reeves: knocked down hard smash
  • Ruth was served 22 pitches today: 11 called balls, 5 called strikes, 2 missed swings, 1 foul, 1 foul after 2 strikes, 2 fair hits.
