At the start of a Mutuals-Haymakers game in Troy‚ NY‚ Even though it is customary to allow the visiting team to choose which ball to use, Troy captain Bill Craver refuses to play unless their ball is used. Heated words are exchanged throughout, with the Mutuals even being threatened with bats. Mutuals captain Bob Ferguson is convinced the ball used is not legal. Troy then wallops the non-standard ball for a 37-16 win‚ with Steve King and Dickie Flowers collecting 6 hits each. Later‚ the Van Horn ball and the Ryan ball are found to each have the same amount of rubber but the former is “twice as lively.”

This slugfest also numbers a game-tying, 2nd-inning grand slam by Chicago’s Billy Williams among its 8 homers and 70 total bases. Mother Nature, however, has to get a good deal of credit for the day’s offensive production; clearly, the “Windy City” has earned its sobriquet today. “It blew fourteen miles per hour toward center,” reports The Chicago Tribune, “prompting Clemente to all but apologize for his first homer.” “I just tapped the ball,” Clemente tells The Post-Gazette. “There was no way that ball should have gone out of here. The wind was blowing to left, to center, to right. Everywhere it was blowing, it was for the hitter.”

The Diamondbacks provide new manager Kirk Gibson with a vivid display of why they are in last place in the NL West, committing a team record 6 errors in a 14 – 1 loss to the Dodgers, Gibson’s first as a manager. But the most egregious error is courtesy of the winners: in the 2nd inning, Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw is caught going the wrong way on the bases. Standing at first base after an error by Tony Abreu, he goes past second base on a long drive by Rafael Furcal. Thinking CF Chris Young made the catch, he retreats to first base, only to be passed by Furcal, who correctly saw that Young dropped the ball and is running all out. Furcal is out for passing a preceding runner, losing credit for a potential triple.

With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the 2nd inning, Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Gose hits a grounder to A’s 1B Nate Freiman. He attempts to start a double play by tagging runner Munenori Kawasaki and throwing home, but 1B umpire Vic Carapazza rules that Munenori avoided the tag and is safe, allowing C Stephen Vogt to benefit from a force out on Edwin Encarnacion at the plate. Things get odd when Blue Jays manager John Gibbons decides to challenge the call at first base, arguing his own baserunner was out, in order for Encarnacion’s run to stand. Gibbons wins the challenge, but A’s manager Bob Melvin wants to protest the game, claiming the video review rule was interpreted incorrectly, since Vogt’s failure to tag Encarnacion was a direct result of the original call. In the end, the run is inconsequential, as Oakland wins, 4 – 1, but Major League Baseball will have to reflect on whether the rule needs to be tweaked to address a similar situation in the future.

Nostalgic for the 1980s, Rays manager Joe Maddon proposes a starting line-up that goes 8-6-7-5-3-0 (for the DH spot)-9 in today’s game against the Tigers, reproducing the 1981 hit single “867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy Tutone. The line-up fails to be a hit, though, as the Rays lose, 8 – 1, to Max Scherzer. Maddon claims the line-up, which features Vince Belnome making his major league debut in the “0” slot, is inadvertent, but he embraces the coincidence as the namesake song is played in his team’s dugout.
