Ruth Gehrig impact on Cardinals pitching in World Series
Cardinals must avoid walking Ruth and Gehrig with men on base as Yankees loom. Alexander believes Ruth is not as strong as 1926, while Gehrig hit better that year. Ruth narrowly outpaced Gehrig in 1927 series, with Ruth batting .400 and Gehrig leading Yankees with 162 runs. Rest aids Tabe’s leg for crucial AL title run.
