The best parts of it are
(1) Alexander supposedly was hung over from celebrating his win the day before and the last thing he expected was to be called on out of the bullpen; and
(2) When Hornsby met him at the mound Alexander explained how he intended to pitch Lazzeri including the pitch two fastball inside, Hornsby protests but then realizes he's talking to a 350 game winner, shuts up, and goes back to second base.
