In an effort to distract Ted Williams during his at-bats in the 6th and 8th innings, Indians CF Jimmy Piersall goes into a war dance in Centerfield
In an effort to distract Ted Williams during his at-bats in the 6th and 8th innings, Indians CF Jimmy Piersall goes into a war dance. Piersall gets tossed for his efforts and manager Joe Gordon is also ejected for arguing Jimmyâs case. It is Piersallâs 6th ejection of the season. Gordon had previously announced that any more ejections would cost Piersall $500 each, but he thinks todayâs thumbing is unwarranted and waives the fine. American League president Joe Cronin is less forgiving and fines Piersall $100. The Indians win, 4 â 2, behind Jim Perryâs pitching and the first major league home run of Mike de la Hoz.
