Pittsburgh when they had two players called out for batting out of turn

 

On September 2, 1891 — The Phillies were visiting Pittsburgh when they had two players called out for batting out of turn. Manager Harry Wright listed Billy Shindle sixth in the batting order and Ed Mayer eighth. In the second inning, Mayer batted in Shindle’s place because that was how the order had been the day before. After Mayer struck out, Pirates manager Bill McGunnigle talked with umpire Jack McQuaid about the Phillies batting out of order. McQuaid declared Shindle and William Brown (in the seventh spot) out for allowing Mayer to bat ahead of them.
