8/7/1899Â â The New York Giants were playing at the Brooklyn Superbas, and in the top of the second Pop Foster singled in a run. Brooklyn captain Joe Kelley protested to the umpire, John Gaffney, that Foster had batted out of order. In fact, Foster was not on the lineup card the umpires had because the Giants had mistakenly given him one from a previous game. That meant other Giants had also batted out of turn. After a considerable discussion about who was at fault and what should be done, Gaffney decided to call Foster out. At that point, the Giants captain, Kid Gleason, said he would pull his team off the field if that happened. Gafner relented, possibly due to unrest by the fans who wanted to see a game, and let the Giants bat in the order they wanted. Brooklyn protested the game, a 9-3 New York win. It likely would have been upheld, but Kelley withdrew it the following day feeling that enough bad will had been created and he did not want to increase it.
