8/17/1901 – In the first game of the day between Brooklyn and New York, Frank Bowerman was playing second base and hitting sixth in the New York lineup. However, as he was not a regular in the lineup, he went to the plate too early in the first inning. After the third hitter, Algie McBride, reached on an error with two out, Bowerman walked to the plate and was hit by a pitch. Fourth place hitter Charlie Hickman, who should have hit after McBride instead of Bowerman, made an out to end the inning and Brooklyn did not realize the two mistakes. (Once Bowerman reached base, the proper hitter was the seventh-place batter, John Ganzel, not Hickman.) In the second inning, New York hit correctly, starting with the #5 hitter, Sammy Strang.
