Reds Trivia 5/12/08

by Bill Lack on May 12th, 2008 in Reds Trivia

September 22, 1897: The Reds win, 13-2, over the Pirates in the first game of a double header in Pittsburgh. The Reds lost the second gme, called by darkness after 7 innings, 8-4.

Billy Rhines was scheduled to pitch the second game, but went to his home in Ridgway, Pennsylvania to take care of person business, and failed to reutrn. As a result, catcher Heinie Peitz as pressed into service as a pitcher, and hurled the complete game loss.

All “Reds trivia” posts come from Greg Rhodes and John Snyder’s fabulous book, “Redleg Journal” (see link for purchasing) and are used with Greg’s permission.

Thanks again to Greg Rhodes for permission to use his material.
