On this day in 1985 the Yankees bat boy Butch Wynegar is hit
by a line drive foul ball. The line drive caused the Yankees to instate a new
rule mandating that the team's bat boy must wear a helmet while on the field
for all games.
Also on this day in 1934 Lou Gehrig, the Yankees first
basemen, would complete one of his two career cycles in his career, the other
coming in 1937. Also in the game John Broaca tied a major league record by
striking out five consecutive times in the game but still gets the victory over
the Chicago White Sox by the score of 11-2 in Yankee Stadium.
