Notes & reviews

  • Handley: robbed DiMaggio of a sure hit
  • Attempted double steal; Berres threw to 3B
  • Fletcher: dandy 1-handed stop
  • Handley: startling pickup and peg robbed Cuccinello
  • L.Waner: fine running catch
  • Handley: barehanded pickup and off-balance throw
  • DiMaggio deliberately let the fly drop and it was apparently too deep to be an infield fly
  • Over LF scoreboard
