9/6/1978 (Game 2): In the top of the third inning in Anaheim, umpire Bill Deegan called time when a paper airplane landed on the field. Angels hurler Paul Hartzell delivered his pitch just after the arbiter’s call and John Lowenstein hit the ball over the right field fence for an apparent home run. However, due to Deegan’s time out call, Lowenstein lost his homer and later walked and scored in the inning.
