August 20, 201312 yr Aug. 20, 1923: The White Sox lost to the Yankees and Babe Ruth, who made a barehanded catch in left, 16-5 at Comiskey Park. Babe executed his catch in the ninth when a dog wandered onto the field. Ruth tossed his mitt to chase the dog away but the dog grabbed it and ran. At that point, Sox rookie pitcher Paul Castner hit a fly to left and Babe hauled it in barehanded.
