6/19/1924 – With the Giants playing the Braves in Boston, the home team mixed up their batting order at the start of the game. After the leadoff batter had grounded out, Ray Powell came to the plate one spot early and also grounded out. The Giants pointed that out to Umpire Hank O’Day and he declared the proper batter, Les Mann, out and the inning over. The Giants beat the Braves, 4-1.
