On this day in 1930 Babe Ruth had his first three-homer game in a regular season game. He did this in his first three at-bats. So what does he do in the ninth inning? He steps up to bat right-handed. After two strikes he goes back to batting lefty and strikes out. Is that legal today? I should look it up but I'm busy until tomorrow.
The Yankees ended up playing three doubleheaders in a four-day stretch. Ruth hit eight homers in those six games - over four days.
