On May 25, 1922 — At the Polo Grounds, Washington Senators Centerfielder Sam Rice throws out Babe Ruth trying to stretch a single into a double, Ruth throws dirt at umpire George Hildebrand eye protesting the call, then goes after a heckler in the stands, and finishes his tirade by standing on the dugout roof calling the crowd “yellow” cowards. These actions will result in a one game suspension and a $500 fine from Ban Johnson and will cost the ‘Bambino’ his Yankee captaincy, a position he has held for less than a week.
