As an aside, what's interesting to me is that the description says that the Whitehill, the pitcher, is out sliding into home. But according to Baseball Reference, Whitehall didn't get on base in Game 3 of the 1933 WS.

I'm not sure how he was out at home if he didn't get on base.
Earl is super underrated and should be more known. This guy talked back to cobb, k'd ruth many times, but also at yankee stadium in his first start ever, took a no hitter into the 9th vs ruth/gherig at yankee stadium 5/30/34, had the world series shutout win in front of the President, beat the 17 yr old phenom 1-0 at tour of Japan, married the sun maid raisin girl, started a brawl with Ben chapman, knocked gherig unconscious during the streak, quite a list of career events.
