Incident in East Liverpool, 1903

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

For what it's worth:

The June 11, 1903 (East Liverpool, Ohio) Evening Review describes an incident in the previous day's game between the Cuban X Giants and the East Liverpool Y.M.C.A. Williams, playing catcher, apparently upset by a call at home plate by umpire Stillwell, "threw the ball as hard as he could directly at Stillwell, who was standing to the right of the pitcher's box." According to the article police had to intervene to prevent "mob vengeance" by the fans.

The police must have done an exceptional job of quelling the possibility of violence. Either that or the paper exaggerated the enmity. The event happened in the 8th inning, and the game was completed. And the two teams played the next day on the same field, with no incident reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:4100:36A0:E5DB:5B63:467C:9D92 (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
