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.
