The summer of ’39 came in like a flood, and the Yankee Clipper rode it clean out of sight. One hundred twenty games, and that was all—a bad wheel shut him down early, but the numbers still made the league blink. A .381 clip, 30 homers, 126 ribbies. He didn’t just hit; he haunted the box score. The boys in the dugout swore the ball found his bat on purpose. Then the season ended, and the stories truly began.
