Text | [Boston vs. Baltimore 10/21/1873] Andy made an exceedingly brilliant catch in left field off a hit by Pike, he running with the ball and taking it at arms length with a high jump. The bases were full and all started to run, the hit looking quite safe, but he returned it to second base, making a double play, closing the innings for a blank, one hand being already out. Had Andy not made that catch, it would have been very bad for us, as it would have given them the lead, at the close of the fifth inning. They claimed that the man’s run, who was on third base when the ball was hit, counted, he getting home before the third man was put out. The umpire decided against them, and then there was a row. They objected to his continuing to act. [from a letter Harry Wright to Frederick Long 10/21/1873] |
