1922 – Whitey Witt, his head bandaged from being hit by a bottle two days before, drives in two in the 9th for a 3 – 2 New York win, and they leave St. Louis 1 1/2 in front. They will finish one game on top, clinching the pennant on the 30th with a 3 – 1 win in Boston. George Sisler’s 41-game hitting streak is stopped by New York’s Joe Bush, the same pitcher he had started the streak against on July 27th.
