Text | [Washington vs. Indianapolis 6/20/1889] Again, when the visitors accomplished a triple play in the eighth Lynch displayed an utter lack of ability. Any one could see that Irwin dropped the pop fly of Hines purposely, and under the rules the batter alone should have been called out. Instead, [umpire] Lynch stood like a wooden Indian, leaving three runners on base helpless on account of his stupidity in failing to make his decision promptly and giving the men a chance to run. As they all knew that Hines was the only man who could be called out under the rules, they remained in their places until it was too late to save themselves. |
