I was watching Pride Of The Yankees earlier on MLB Network and decided to look at Gehrig's stats which I have not done in some time. He played 157 games in 1937 & '38. How? They won the AL by 9.5 over Boston in 38. Boston only played 149 games. A lot of rainouts I suppose. Browns and Cardinals both played 156 games. Was the schedule 157? Thought is was 154 always until it expanded to 162.
