Tim McCarver losses grand slam when he passes teammate Garry Maddox on the basepaths

After hitting an apparent grand slam in the top of the second inning, Tim McCarver is credited with only a three-run single when he passes teammate Garry Maddox on the basepaths in the Philliesā€™ 10-5 victory over the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The other baserunners are allowed to score on the Philadelphia catcherā€™s ā€˜grand slam singleā€™ because only the player who passes his teammate is called out and there were less than two outs.

The Cardinals trade Curt Flood along with Byron Browne, Joe Hoerner, and Tim McCarver to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Dick Allen, Jerry Johnson, and Cookie Rojas. When Flood refuses to report to Philadelphia, St. Louis will send Willie Montanez and a minor leaguer to complete the trade, but the outfielderā€™s courageous challenge to the reserve clause will have a dramatic impact on the game.
