8/7/1922 – In the bottom of the first with a runner on second on two outs, William “Baby Doll” Jacobson hitting in the clean up spot drew a walk. However, he was the number five hitter, so the Senators objected. Based on the box score, it appears that the proper number four batter, Marty MacManus, was called out, and Jacobson led of the second as he should have.
