Ethan Allen of the Cards races around the bases for an inside-the-park home run at the Polo Grounds, but is out for batting out of turn

On June 29, 1933 At the Polo Grounds, in the top of the second St Louis Cardinals outfielder Ethan Allen hit an inside the park home run to deep left-center.

However, he batted out of turn and the proper batter, Joe Medwick, was called out. The drive came off New York Giants starter, Watty Clark with no one on and one out. Allen then batted again and grounded out to third. But St. Louis prevails, 7 – 3.

4/17/1914: Luther Bonin of the Buffalo Blues in the Federal League hit a home run into the bleachers during a game in Baltimore against the Terrapins. However, as he rounded third base, manager Larry Schlafly, who was coaching third, patted Bonin on the back. Bonin was declared out by the umpires. This would have been Bonin’s only home run in his 21-game major league career. He was credited with a triple, the only one of his career!

7/5/2006: Kevin Youkilis of the Red Sox hit a blast to left field off Devil Rays pitcher Tim Corcoran in the top of the third inning which hit one of Tropicana Field’s “B-ring” catwalks. Per the ground rules the ball was in play, so when Tampa Bay left fielder Carl Crawford caught the ball after it caromed off the catwalk Youkilis was actually retired on a drive that should have been a long home run.
