Hot weather in Philadelphia for the 1933 Yankees and A's

June 9, 1933- At  Shibe Park in Philadelphia, A’s slugger Jimmie Foxx ties a MLB record  with another homer‚ his 5th HR in 3 games and his 12th of the 1933 AL  season‚ but the A's bow to the Yankees, by the score of 7-6. Yankees 1B  Lou Gehrig hits his 12th HR of the year; teammate Tony Lazzeri hits a  3-run homer in the 8th inning to ice it. The sweltering heat in the east  (New York City sets a heat record for the date with 97 degrees) causes  both teams starters to end early; Jim Peterson leaves after walking the  leadoff batter: after 5 innings Jumbo Brown collapses in the Yankees  dugout and has to be carried away.

You were there but you just don't remember the game  according to Big Guy and Newwin. Check your straw hat collection I'm sure that you stuck the ticket stub in the headband!.
