Toronto’s Erik Hanson walks Cleveland’s Jim Thome without throwing a fourth ball. With the count 2-2 the pitch is wide and Thome jogs to first base. Umpire Mike Everitt, a fill-in from the Pacific Coast League, had incorrectly called the count 3-2 before the pitch, and Thome, who knew better, didn’t correct him. The next batter, Albert Belle, hits a three-run double for a 4 – 2 win.
