Cleveland outfielders set a major league record when they fail to record a single putout in a 10-inning loss to the Yankees
On August 6, 1937, Cleveland outfielders set a major league record when they fail to record a single putout in a 10-inning loss to the Yankees. Indians’ starter Bob Feller keeps the ball out of the outfield, striking out 12 batters, but he also issues ten walks in taking the defeat when In the 10th inning Joe DiMaggio hits a drive which 3B Odell Hale deflects into foul territory. One umpire calls it foul, so the Indians LF fails to chase after the ball. But the other umpire overrules the first, allowing the winning run to score because of the OF’s idleness. Cleveland’s protest of the game will be upheld.
