Text	[Kansas City vs. Cleveland 9/9/1888] Before the game Capts. McKean and Barkley agreed that a hit into the crowd or over the fences should be good for two bases. In the last inning a dispute came up over this rule. Albert’s [3b] wild throw gave Cline first and the ball went to the crowd. Cline trotted on to third, but the throws of Faatz [1b] and O’Brien [p] to Albert caught him as he came to the base. Crowell said “out.” Barkley claimed two bases because the ball had gone to the crowd. But it was not a batted ball.
