On August 4, 1979 — At the Kingdome, the Mariners’ Ruppert Jones hits a foul ball that sticks in the speaker above the first base dugout. But the Athletics amass 11 fair hits to beat the Mariners, 5 – 3. Dwayne Murphy is 3 for 3 with a triple and a homer.
Oakland first baseman Revering and catcher Jim Essian are waiting below, nestled into a speaker “If another ball is hit up there tomorrow (Sunday) night they’ll both probably come down” predicted Seattle first baseman Bruce Bochte “We should mark the balls, so ire know which one to catch.”
