I started looking......the Yankees played 18 games at home during the month of September, 1929. 6 double headers (ahhh, the good ole' days!). Checking the box scores at baseball-reference.com revealed the following pitchers that faced Gehrig in NY during that span (obviously no way to know the counts in the AB's, let alone which AB's contained a foul ball):
DETROIT TIGERS:
George Uhle
Ownie Carroll
Skinny Graham
Augie Prudhomme
Vic Sorrell
Emil Yde
Earl Whitehill
Phil Page
ST. LOUIS BROWNS:
General Crowder
Sam Gray
George Blaeholder
Jack Ogden
CLEVELAND INDIANS:
Ken Holloway
Willis Hudlin
Johnny Miljus
Jake Miller
Wes Ferrell
Milt Shoffner
CHICAGO WHITE SOX:
Hal McKain
Ted Lyons
Red Faber
Roy Sherid

We know Lou didn't sit out any of those games, to save you the trouble of looking that part up : )
....but very cool for checking on the pitching, thanks!
