The Cleveland players protest a call by Owens in the 10th and delay the game by rolling on the ground and tossing their mitts. When Chicago's first batter strikes out in the bottom of the 10th, Cleveland catcher Steve O'Neill fires the ball into center field, and Owens calls the 9-0 forfeit.<br /><br />September 9, 1978:<br />Yankees starter Ron Guidry gives up two singles in the first inning and that's it. New York sends 12 runners to the plate in the fourth inning and scores seven runs against Dennis Eckersley. (I was at this game (age 14). 5+ hours on a bus from Vermont, watch the Red Sox do absolutely nothing against the MFY, 5+ hours on a bus back home.)<br /><br />September 9, 1999:<br />The Padres defeat the Expos 10-3 in a game in which they are nearly allowed four outs in the seventh inning. When San Diego's Reggie Sanders strikes out for the third out, the umpires don't notice and the players do not leave the field. Phil Nevin comes to the plate and runs the count to 2-1 against Expos' pitcher Ted Lilly before someone in the Montreal dugout notifies home plate umpire Jerry Layne.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-13431798620570780662017-09-09T08:39:13.422-07:002017-09-09T08:39:13.422-07:00Elias:
