Here is one I hadn't seen before. It ocurred during my 1928 AL replay between the Yankees and Browns in Sportmans Park.
"Here's Fred Schulte in the 4 spot today. Does well against lefthanders at .303. The 0-1 pitch lifted in the air out to center field. Backing a bit is Combs, waiting for it and he has it for the out.
--Wait a minute--
It looks like a BALK has been called. Manush is being sent down to second base. Schulte moves back into the batter's box and his fly out to center NEVER happened, annoying Zachary to no end, who throws up his arms in disbelief."
The abortive fly out would have ended the inning. Given a reprieve, Schulte doubled in Manush. However, that was about the last bad thing that happened to Tom Zachary that day. He ended up pitching a complete game and the Yankees beat the Browns 7-3.
