...Gehrig, New York first baseman, hit a ball into right field. Paul Waner, Pittsburgh right fielder, rushed in, attempted the physically impossible feat of reaching the ball before it fell.

Batter Gehrig reached third base on a hit normally good for only one base; fielder Paul Waner had started Pittsburgh on the road to ruin.
