bulldogbarks55 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 On Sept. 30, 1971 before an announced crowd of 14,460 at RFK the Senators led the Yankees 7-5 in the top of the ninth. With one out fans began storming the field. After a short while order was restored and the next Yankee hitter, Bobby Murcer, grounded out. Before Horace "Hoss" Clarke could step in to the batter's box the fans stormed the field again. When order could not be restored the umpires declared the game a 9-0 forfeit for the Yankees. Hitting and fieldings stats counted, but there was no winning or losing pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're a Browns fan I'll be easy on you. I happen to write sports for a small town newspaper. And I grew up in a time (1950s) when we had to use proper grammar.

I spent seven snow filled years in upstate NY. I lived in Syracuse, Liverpool, and Marcellus. My last job up there was at radio station in Auburn. I happen to write for a small town paper myself.
