"This being 1924, they splashed cold water on Ruth's face to wake him up. Manager Miller Huggins wanted to take him out, but Ruth refused, finishing the game 3-for-3—and playing the second game of the double-header, despite a noticeable limp. Ruth would start every game that season."
Nowadays they would have sent him for x-rays, a ct scan and an mri and then 15 day DLed him at the slightest hint of a limp.
