Aaron Ward from the Chronology

Oct 11, 1923 - Babe Ruth hits 2 HRs‚ and Aaron Ward one‚ as Herb Pennock (19-6) scatters 9 hits for a 4-2 Yankee win at the Polo Grounds.

Oct 7, 1922 - Judge Landis insists game 4 be played despite a heavy rain. Again one big inning-a 4-run fourth off Carl Mays (13-4)-is enough for McQuillan to squeeze out a 4-3 win. Aaron Ward's 2nd HR of the Series is all the long-ball clout the Yankees will display. Mays's brief collapse today‚ coupled with his two losses in the 1921 series‚ leads to rumors that he took money to throw the games. The accusations will persist for decades.

Jul 11, 1922 - In the first of 4 games at Yankee Stadium‚ the Yankees edge the first-place Browns‚ 2-1‚ as the Browns hand New York two "home runs." Aaron Ward hits a liner that bounces off the glove of a leaping Ken Williams and goes into the LF stands for a home run. In the 6th Tobin makes 2 errors on one play as he drops a Babe Ruth fly ball near the RF foul line allowing Babe to take second. Babe continues to 3B and a surprised Tobin then bounces his throw into the stands behind third allowing Ruth to score the tie breaker. Urban Shocker is the loser as the Browns lead is cut to a half game.

May 20, 1922 - Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel (and since-traded pitcher Bill Piercy)‚ suspended on October 16‚ 1921‚ by Judge Landis‚ are reinstated and return to the New York lineup going hitless in New York's 8-2 loss to the rallying Browns at the Polo Grounds. The Browns‚ down 2-0 after 7‚ score one in the 8th and 7 in the 9th‚ six of them coming after the game-ending out is called by ump Ollie Chill at first base. Pitcher Sam Jones‚ taking the throw at 1B from Wally Pipp‚ apparently makes the 3rd out and fans swarm the field. But Jones does not hold onto the ball cleanly and plate ump Brick Owens instructs Chill to make a safe call. The tying run scores on the play and‚ when the action resumes 15 minutes later‚ Wally Gerber singles to make the score 3-2. Walks to Sisler and Williams force home another run‚ and Baby Doll Jacobson clears the bases with a grand slam into the RF stands to complete the scoring. Winner Urban Shocker allows just three hits‚ including a two-run homer by second baseman Aaron Ward. The loss to Jones starts him on a 10-game losing streak‚ while a cold Ban Johnson will let umpire Ollie Chill go after the season.

Oct 13, 1921 - Waite Hoyt and Art Nehf come back for game 8 with 2 days rest. With 2 on and 2 outs in the first‚ Giants 1B George Kelly hits a grounder to short that goes through Roger Peckinpaugh‚ and a run scores. Not another Giant reaches 3B the rest of the day. After Aaron Ward walks in the 9th‚ Frank "Home Run" Baker hits a drive toward right‚ but 2B Johnny Rawlings spears it and throws him out while on the ground. Ward heads for 3B and is gunned down by a throw from Kelly to Frisch to end the Series with a 4-3-5 DP. The Giants win‚ 1-0. Hoyt does not allow an earned run in 3 complete games. The Giants are the first to lose the first 2 games and come back to win the Series.

Oct 12, 1921 - Carl Mays and Phil Douglas meet again‚ and again Mays has perfect control (he gives up no walks in 26 innings). He yields 6 hits‚ but a 7th-inning error by Aaron Ward at 2B‚ followed by Snyder's double‚ break a 1-1 tie and give Douglas his 2nd win.

Jul 17, 1920 - The Yankees collect 21 hits‚ good for forty bases‚ to starch the White Sox‚ 20-5. Aaron Ward shines in the field and drives out a home run‚ triple‚ and two singles. Ruth is held to a double and two singles‚ while Happy Felsch leads the Sox with four RBI. With the Indians sweeping two from Boston‚ the Yankees trail the Tribe by two games.
