Five days later, Thevenow would hit another inside-the-park home run, the second and final regular season home run of his career, as the Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score of 15–7, putting the Cardinals 2½ games ahead of the Reds for first place in the National League.

Thomas Joseph Thevenow (September 6, 1903 in Madison, Indiana – July 29, 1957 in Madison, Indiana) was a professional baseball player who played shortstop in the Major Leagues from 1924 to 1938.
•
He had operated a grocery store in his hometown of Madison, Indiana following his retirement from baseball.
•
In the second game of the series, Thevenow hit a ball to right field off Yankee pitcher Sad Sam Jones which Babe Ruth could not corral as he ran towards the ball at full speed, while Thevenow rounded the bases and scored ahead of Ruth's throw to the plate, with the official scorer ruling it an inside-the-park home run.
•
Thevenow was acquired by the Cardinals on September 3, 1924, when he was purchased from the Syracuse Stars of the Class AA International League, where he played 140 games that season.
