Text | [St. Louis vs. Brooklyn 6/18/1889] Now came a play which puzzled the crowd–grandstand occupants as well as the bleachers. Collins bunted a ball high enough in the air to prevent it being a hit direct to the ground, and, as it fell on fair ground and then rolled on foul ground–Collins ran to first on the hit... and everyone expected to hear the umpire call foul. But he apparently was the only one to see the point of the play, and when he decided it a fair ball there was a dispute. ... Of course when the point taken was explained there was prompt acquiescence, but the crowd could not understand it a bit. |
