Fenway Park, Boston, MA, May 20, 1937 – Indians Jeff Heath flies like a butterfly in 16-5 romp over Red Sox

The Indians Jeff Heath leaps over prone Red Sox catcher Gene Desautels for Cleveland’s 16th and final run of the day in a 16-5 rout. The Tribe pounded out 21 hits with seven batters having at least two hits a piece, led by Heath, who had three hits and knocked in four runs. On top of getting smacked around, Boston pitchers didn’t help themselves by issuing nine walks. Probably the only positive the Red Sox could take from this game was just 1,603 fans made it to Fenway Park to see this drubbing.
