1900 – In the Reds’ 15 – 7 pasting of St. Louis, Cy Young is knocked out of the box for the second consecutive game. This is a first in his career. Young will finish 32 of his 35 starts in compiling a 19-19 record.

August 20, 1900

Toronto’s Erik Hanson walks Cleveland’s Jim Thome without throwing a fourth ball. With the count 2-2 the pitch is wide and Thome jogs to first base.

The next batter, Albert Belle, hits a three-run double for a 4 – 2 win.
