New York Yankees Flashback: Home Runs, and Lots of ’em

The New York Yankees and A’s took no prisoners in Philly on May 22, 1930, as the teams combined to blast 14 dingers in a doubleheader swept by the Bronx Bombers 10-1 and 20-13. Babe Ruth “touched ‘em all” twice in Game One, with Ben Chapman and winning pitcher George Pipgras stroking one apiece too.

The Yanks plated nine by the second inning of the nightcap, but Philly tied it up at 12 behind Jimmie Foxx‘s two bombs for six rbi’s. Ruth mashed another, Lou Gehrig drove home eight on three taters, and Tony Lazzeri went 4-for-4, knocked in four, and tallied five himself.
