He hit three in a doubleheader split the day before giving him a record tying five in three games. 1932 - Babe Ruth is hospitalized with pain in his side. He will be out of action for the next five days. 1954 - The Senators and Athletics draw just 460 fans for the smallest crowd ever at Griffith Stadium. The Senators win 5-4."
