Notes & reviews

Foxx (13 on season) one of 2 Red Sox with 5+ SBs in 1936
Berg dropped Blaeholder 3rd strike, picked it up, tagged plate for force and rolled ball to mound. Blaeholder stopped half way down first base line but bench yelled run so he ran 3B Werber saw him run and grabbed ball and threw to Foxx
