|Text=<p>[Hartford vs. Cincinnati 6/29/1876]  The strategy with which York perished at his hands on the seventh inning brought the spectators down with a storm of applause.  York made a base-hit to right.  Jones fielded the ball to Fisher, who went out to receive it.  He slipped it down his loose sleeve and walked back to his position at short-stop, rubbing his hands innocently together.  Dean [pitcher] was standing in his position, and York, thinking he held the ball, stood a few feet from first base watching him.  Before he was aware of it, Fisher had thrown the ball to Gould [first baseman], who touched the puzzled York off the base, and retired the side.</p>
