Yankees outfield makes an American League-record five assists, four by Bob Meusel
In the Labor Day afternoon game at Boston, won by the Red Sox, 8 – 2, the Yankees outfield makes an American League-record five assists, four by Bob Meusel. Meusel, with one of the strongest arms, will lead the AL in assists in 1921 and 1922.
Lewis traded upon returning from World War I
The day after he receives an ensign’s gold stripe to become the only big-leaguer to earn a Navy commission serving World War I, the Red Sox trade Ernie Shore, along with Dutch Leonard and outfielder Duffy Lewis to the Yankees for Frank Gilhooley, Slim Love, Ray Caldwell, Roxy Walters and $15,000. The once promising right-hander, who missed the entire season last year due to military service, will retire after two seasons with Bronx Bombers, compiling a meager 7-10 record.
