4/22/1980 – In the bottom of the second inning, the Mariners’ Bill Stein and Joe Simpson batted out of order, both reached base and yet nothing was said. With one out, Simpson doubled to left and then Stein was hit by a pitch. Larry Cox singled to right filling the bases but pinch hitter Leon Roberts grounded into a double play to end the inning and the threat. Seattle scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to beat Oakland, 5-4.

The Royals lose a doubleheader to the Angels, 8 – 6 in the opener and 6 – 5 in the nightcap. In the second game, Kansas City OF Mark Quinn makes a memorable major league debut. After making an out in his first trip to the plate, Quinn doubles in his next at bat, then hits homers his last two times up. He becomes just the 3rd player in history to hit two home runs in his first big league game. Bob Nieman (on this day in 1951) and Bert Campaneris (in 1964) are the only others to accomplish the feat.
