Detroit pitcher Ed Summers, a notoriously poor hitter, bounces two home runs into the stands in a 10 â 3 victory over the Aâs. The two homers, both off Harry Krause, will comprise his career total.
A game between Mobile and Atlanta (Southern Association) takes only 32 minutes to complete. The game is conducted as an experiment with batters coming to the plate âon the runâ and swinging at any good pitch and both teams taking little time between innings. It is the final game of the season for both clubs. Mobile wins, 2 â 1. Many sources cite this game as the fastest in professional baseball history, but it will be bettered by one minute by a game between Asheville and Winston-Salem on August 30, 1916.
