Preceding the Browns’ season closer, the Harlem Globetrotters defeat a team led by baseball clown Max Patkin. The basketball game is played on a wooden court set up behind third base.

Bill Sharman, recently called up from Fort Worth, is one of 15 Dodgers who are ejected by umpire Frank Dascoli for bench jockeying after a close call at home plate.

Trying for his 23rd win, Preacher Roe loses just his 3rd game, 4 – 3, to Chet Nichols and the Braves. The Dodgers now lead New York by half a game. Future Hall of Fame basketball player Bill Sharman becomes the only man in history to be thrown out of a major league baseball game without ever having played in one. With the score tied at 3 – 3 in the 8th inning, umpire Frank Dascoli clears the entire Brooklyn bench after a home plate call by him results in a violent protest. Sharman, up from St. Paul (American Association) at the end of the season, is one of the players thrown out. Dascoli’s safe call at home on Bob Addis’s score results in the winning run.
