5/4/1980 – The Dodgers were visiting Philadelphia and the top of the first inning was not Dallas Green’s best day on the way to the World Series championship. Davey Lopes singled and Rudy Law reached on an infield error. After Reggie Smith popped out, Law stole second base. Steve Garvey reached on an infield single, scoring the first run of the game. Dusty Baker then hit into a force out leaving runners on first and third but had batted out of turn. Green came out and pointed out the fact that the proper batter had not hit. Thus Ron Cey was called out, the runners restored to their previous bases and Baker batted again. This time he hit a three-run homer to left. Green now was very upset saying that Baker should not have batted believing according to newspaper accounts that Baker’s force out should count and Cey should be ruled out . He was ejected from the game and protested the game. The protest was denied as the rules were followed correctly. The incorrect decision was Green’s when he did not take the out on Baker’s first trip to the plate. The Dodgers eventually won the game 12-10.

1960 – The World Series-bound Pirates come from behind yet again, trumping the Giants, 7 – 4. Roberto Clemente hits a two-out, two-run homer and Roy Face closes the game. For the Giants, Willie Mays does his best with a single, double and near-homer his first time up, but falls victim to Face in his final at-bat, a 7th-inning strikeout, representing the tying run at the plate. Later, Les Biederman will elicit Willie’s post-game prognosis: “The Pirates sure are impressive. Nothing seems to bother them. You’re behind 3 – 0, then a couple of hits, a couple of errors and boom! They have confidence and they show it. It’s a good team and should go all the way without too much trouble. Everybody carries the load. No one man is doing it all alone. They can hit up and down the lineup.”
