On September 8, 1932 — The Yankees and Tigers replay their protested August 1 game as the nightcap of a doubleheader, but end in a 7 – 7 tie. After the game, Babe Ruth experiences abdominal pains he believes are an appendicitis attack. He will be out of the lineup indefinitely. Sammy Byrd, subbing for Ruth in the opener, collects five hits for the Yankees, including two home runs in a 5 – 4 win.
