1910 – The Havana Reds beat the Detroit Tigers, 3 – 0, behind Chiche Gonzalez’s five-hitter. Ty Cobb goes 0 for 3 and is caught stealing by Bruce Petway. The story is later blown out of proportion to claim Cobb was caught three times, when in fact this is the only recorded steal attempt he had in five games in Cuba that winter.
