Text | [Chicago vs. Philadelphia 4/24/1882] Quinton, the catcher of the Philadelphia Club, met with a painful and perhaps serious accident during the progress of the seventh inning. He never wears a mask over his face while playing behind the bat, and he became a victim of his own recklessness. He was in his usual position close behind the batter, when a foul-tipped ball from Corcoran's bat struck him in the eye and nose. Not being able to finish the game, Quinton's place was taken by McCloskey. |
