Text | [Cincinnati vs. Indianapolis 6/28/1878] ...Clapp got to third on a passed ball and home on a high hit by McKelvey down near second base, within easy reaching distance of three or four players. McKelvey arrived at second while Clapp was coming home, and just at this juncture White [catcher] let another ball go by him. The even-tempered James deliberately took off his mask and walked after the ball, McKelvey in the meantime scoring. McVey started in direction of the plate to lecture White, but that citizen motioned him back. He was in a “state of mind” and did not wish to listen to a lecture just then. |
