Ethan Allen of the Cards races around the bases for an inside-the-park home run at the Polo Grounds, but is out for batting out of turn

8/18/1914 – The St. Louis Browns were in Washington playing the Senators. The Browns batted out of turn for most of the game without consequence. In the bottom of the eighth inning, 3B Jimmy Austin was ejected for arguing a safe call at 3B on Howie Shanks. SS Bobby Wallace moved to 3B and Doc Lavan entered the game at SS. Here is the lineup as presented to HP umpire Billy Evans and how they batted for the first eight innings.

7/26/1928 – The Reds batted out of turn in the ninth inning at Philadelphia and scored the game-winning runs during that frame. In the eighth inning, Pinky Pittinger had pinch run for Bubbles Hargrave (in the seventh spot in the lineup) and remained in the game. In the top of the ninth, the Reds had one run in and two runners on when it was Pittinger’s turn to bat. Val Picinich, who had entered the game in the eighth spot in the previous half inning, strode to the plate instead of Pittinger. After Picinich fouled out, the proper batter, Pittinger, was called out. Now it really was Picinich’s turn. Instead, Pid Purdy pinch hit for Picinich and walked. Eventually, Hughie Critz doubled home three runs to claim the contest for Cincinnati. The Phillies gained nothing by pointing out that Picinich had batted out of turn since he was already out.
