"MURDERER'S ROW"

In 1927 instead of a league pennant race, there was the Great American Home Run Race, the first ever witnessed. Nothing before had ever prepared baseball fans for the season long home run chase, as teammates Ruth and Gehrig hit balls over the fences at a blistering and dizzying pace. For the first time the Babe had a worthy challenger going head to head with him, as the “Buster” matured into a force in only his third season as a regular and matched Ruth homer for homer most of the season and the two traded heroics almost daily, making up for the lack of interest in the standings. The Babe just may well have been spurred on by the competition, and they spent the year captivating the country. In baseball parks everywhere, it was the biggest show in town, with people clamoring out to see the power.

It was a surprising Chicago White Sox team that got as close as one game of the lead, but on May 7 in the Windy City, Pennock’s pitching and Gehrig’s monstrous grand slam into the right field pavilion off Sox ace Ted Lyons providing the icing, the first home run to be hit at newly remodeled Comiskey Park, the Yankees won, 8-0, and went on to take two of three games to start a western road trip that included a seven-game winning streak. While they were in Cleveland, a 25-year-old aviator named Charles Lindbergh made history with a solo flight from New York to Paris by landing on May 21, and he immediately became an American hero. Two days later in Washington, the Babe and the Buster again hit consecutive homers in the first inning, but the Senators were able to come back to win, 3-2. Meanwhile, it was a minor setback as the Yankees continued to roll, and behind their thunderous attack, New York swept a Memorial Day doubleheader in Philadelphia, 10-3 and 18-5. The Yanks’ 19-9 monthly record left them still atop the standings at 28-14 and with a two-game lead over Chicago at the end of May, looking more and more invincible each day, and with Ruth hitting five home runs during a seven-game span to close the month, he led Gehrig, 16 homers to 12.
