Batting Out of Turn, lost homerun

On June 29, 1933Ā At the Polo Grounds,Ā 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.
