Text | [Philadelphia vs. Athletic 6/21/1873] Mr. Young’s umpiring was, as usual, absurdly lenient. He seems to have got his head filled with queer notions, as there is a peculiar regularity about his calling balls, calling the fourth and seventh balls, and so on. This is amusing, for if the fourth ball proves to be a strike, or a “called strike,” Mr. Young must feel rather queer. |
