May 21, 1930 – This story is pretty incredible! New Yankees legend Babe Ruth hit three Home Runs in a single game against the Philadelphia Athletics. It gets even more interesting to learn that despite Ruth’s offensive explosion the Yanks blew a 6-0 lead in the 4th inning to go on to lose the game by a large margin, 15-7.
The A’s weren’t just a bunch of bums. No, they had some high-caliber people themselves. Connie Mack was the manager of the team that included stars Jimmie Foxx, Jimmy Dykes, and Mule Haas. In fact, the Athletics finished with the best record in baseball that season and won the World Series 4 games to 2 over the St Louis Cardinals!
