Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees hits a 460-foot home run into the center field bleachers in the Polo Grounds, for the first home run ever hit to that spot. Ruth adds his 21st home run of the season and also pitches five innings in the 13 – 6 win over the Detroit Tigers, giving up four runs, but striking out Ty Cobb. In tomorrow’s game, Ruth will hit two more home runs, his sixth and seventh in five games, in a 9 – 6 win over Detroit. The ‘Bambino’ will break his own major league record this year, going deep 59 times, but this is the only time this season he will be the starting pitcher for the Bronx Bombers.
