This day in baseball!

Next time you hear someone calling a game who complains that umpires insert themselves and bait the players too much these days, remember this:

1911 -- In a Reds win in Cincinnati‚ Cards player-manager Roger Bresnahan is called out on strikes by Bill Klem to end the game. When Roger argues too long over the call‚ Klem belts him. An embarrassed NL president Lynch will fine the arbiter $50 for the punch.


Does Milton Bradley know about this?
