The Yanks lost a pennant by a freak misfortune in 1933, notes i George. "Lou Gehrig held up at I second to see If Tony LazzaiTs I long drive would be caught by ' Dixie Walker, Just behind him on the base paths. Walker didn't hesitate and they slid home with the throw almost simultaneour-ly. Catcher Luke Seweli acrobatically tagged Gehrig on one side of the plate and Walker, on I i.he other side for one of base-; ball's most remarkable double plays." Triple plays don't come with extraordinary frequency, but Carver tells of the triple play that stands out above them all. "The bases were full with none out when Joe Cronin' teed off on a Juicy pitch. The ball hand cuffed Sammy Hale at third base, whisking between his out stretched hands and cracking him on the forehead. Then it caromed into the waiting glove of shortstop Billy Knickerbocker, who discovered all base runners in motion for a simple triple play. Hale got an assist on the play." . It would have been tough on' a fan who might have been looking through the knothole the day Larry McLean hit a home run. "The ball went through the only knuthole In the entire right-field fence. Another freak over-the-fence homer was struck by Johnny Sullivan, one-time Washington shortstop. "He attests to the fact that he ricocheted a drive Off the left-field wall which bounced toward the playing field, struck the left fielder on his noggin and bounced back over the fence for a homer." The list of oddities wouldn't be complete without the best-pitched game in baseball history. "Surely it has to be the historic duel between Jumbo Jim Vaughan of the Cubs and Fred Toney of the Reds," says Carver. "Each twirled a no-hltter f,or nine innings. Vaughan gave up two hits in the tenth and Toney none as the Reds triumphed 1-0." Sport Shots Get one hefty, well-conditioned athlete swinging a hardwood, two-pound bat.
