[Athletic vs. Chicago 5/13/1874] [bases loaded] Anson, the terrible hitter, was the next man at the bat, and as only one man was out, it was big odds the Athletic would get that run. The Iowa boy nerved himself for a heavy hit, and the men on the bases played out well so as to have a good start. Noticing this, Malone [catcher] sent the ball as quick as flash to Levi [Meyerle, third baseman], and before McMullin could possibly get back to third, he had been touched and the umpire beckoned him off the bag.
