If a pitcher takes the mound before a game, but leaves (such as due to injury while warming) before throwing a pitch, I know that an 'appearance' is not...

Not sure if this is a related event in the Gehrig streak. Mentioned on pp. 64-65 of William C. Kashatus's biography of Gehrig: on July 14, 1934, Gehrig was...
Interesting... * On April 23, 1933, an errant pitch by Washington Senators hurler struck Gehrig in the head. Although almost knocked unconscious, Gehrig...
