Text	[Athletic vs. Brooklyn 5/2/1889] ...O’Brien hit a beautiful bounder to left field... The Collins forwarded O’Brien by a sacrifice, and on Burns’ telling bounder to right field, which sent O’Brien to third easily, the latter ran in, he seeing that Purcell did not handle the ball quick enough for a throw home. It was, in fact, a steal home, O’Brien being quick to take advantage of plays of this kind. Brooklyn Eagle May 3, 1889 a player delegated to call foul balls when umpire behind the pitcher [Chicago vs. Cleveland 5/3/1889] In the first inning, with Duffy at the plate and Ryan on first [both Chicago players], Barnum, who was behind the pitcher, asked Anson to watch fouls. The Captain took a positition near the batsman and the crowd on the left bleaching boards began shouting: “Get out o'that.” “Sit down.” “See where he is.” The Captain turned round and said: “Gentlemen, I'm put here to watch fouls.” Then they cheered him. When he led off in the second inning he was cheered from every stand. Chicago Tribune May 4, 1889
