(1) Alexander supposedly was hung over from celebrating his win the day before and the last thing he expected was to be called on out of the bullpen; and

On the second pitch, an inside fastball, just as Alexander had predicted to Hornsby, Lazzeri hit a long foul. Not sure if it cleared the fence but it may have. Then Alexander had him perfectly set up for his devastating curve on the next pitch.
