| Text | [Athletic vs. Cincinnati 10/18/1869] Allison sent one between second and third and made his first. Harry[sic: should be George] Wright, who had been dancing between third and home, made a desperate rush at the hit, but was caught between the bases by McBride [P] and Foran [3B]. He led them a lively dance for a while, and finally when the ball was passed to the latter, he made a desperate rush for home. Foran was excited, and threw the ball somewhat wildly to McBride, who was excited, too, and failed to get it [illegible] home plate. They play was an exciting one, and when George came in the audience rose to their feet and screamed with delight. Cincinnati Gazette October 19, 1869 Allison struck a hot one to Foran [3B], who made a feint of throwing it to first. George Wright starting thereupon for the home plate, and was caught between Foran and McBride [P], a pretty lively place it may be imagined; George, however, was equal to the occasion, and tallied amid much amusement and applause. Allison meanwhile went to second. Cincinnati Enquirer October 19, 1869 |
