Amazing
That was 1931 Opening Day. Box score, here, reveals Ruth hit the first of 46 home runs while posting a .373 BA:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...93104140.shtml A whopping 6 Hall of Famers in the starting lineup - Combs, Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Dickey and Ruffing, the last of whom started and pitched a complete game. I believe this to be Joe McCarthy's first game as Yankee manager, a title he would hold into the 1946 season. How can you see the game with all of those damn hats?! Also, lots of cigarettes in the crowd. And I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of diversity in the bleachers, which the announcer explains were the cheap seats where the best baseball fans reside. No Bronx Courthouse in the distance. It would be constructed later that year. Check out the flag pole on the field of play, and how the players followed the marching band around the field prior to the National Anthem. So many great historical nuggets here.
