9/23/1989 – The Blue Jays skipped a batter in the middle of this game in Milwaukee. After going through the order twice, Ernie Whitt’s third plate appearance was a ground out to end the fifth inning. Tony Fernandez should have led off the sixth but Kelly Gruber batted instead of his partner on the left side of the infield. After Gruber flew out no protest was raised. Fernandez never came to the plate in that turn through the lineup and finished the game with three plate appearances as Toronto lost, 4-1.
