New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles September 6, 2010

After losing out on the American League pennant three straight years to the Philadelphia Athletics, the Yankees regained their dominant form, as Lou Gehrig would lead the way with 151 RBI. Gehrig even topped the Bambino on June 3rd in Philadelphia when he became the very first player to hit four Home Runs in one game. Others would equal the feat; however Ruth would never equal the feat. The Yankees won 107 games and took home the pennant by 13 games. In the World Series the Yankees faced the Chicago Cubs. Lou Gehrig, who hit .529 and scored nearly a quarter of the Yankees runs, led both clubs in batting, slugging, hits, runs, and RBIs as the Yankees crushed the Cubs in four games. However as was most of his career Gehrig's accomplishments were overshadowed by the Babe. In Game 3 with the score tied 4-4 in the fifth inning, Babe Ruth pointed his bat at pitcher Charlie Root. After taking two strikes, the Babe ripped the third pitch into the center field bleachers. Lou Gehrig would follow with a homer off the stunned Root right after, but the game and the Series would be forever remembered for Babe Ruth's called shot.
