[Chicago vs. Philadelphia 9/2/1889] In the third inning, with Ryan on first, Van Haltern hit a hard one to right, which Thompson let go by him into the crowd. A spectator, however, promptly fielded the ball into the diamond and Ryan was held on third, while Van got no further than second. Had Thompson been compelled to field the ball both men would probably have scored.
