FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» May 6, 1903: The White Stockings commit 12 errors, and the Tigers commit 6, for a modern major-league record by two teams in one game. Sox shortstop Lee Tannehill leads the way with four errors, while 3rd sacker Frank Isbell and Patsy Flaherty check in with three apiece. Trailing 9-7 in the 9th inning, Chicago salvages a 10-9 victory for Flaherty over Mal Eason.

» June 29, 1905: At Brooklyn, the Giants tally seven runs in the first three innings off Mal Eason to coast to an 11–1 victory. Christy Mathewson leaves after five innings of shutout ball, and Mal Eason tosses the last four innings. Dan McGann paces the offense with a triple and homer, while Moonlight Graham, in his only game in the majors, takes over in right field as a late inning replacement. Graham will have no at-bats but will be made famous in W.P. Kinsella's Field of Dreams.

» May 1, 1906: John Lush, 20, posts a 1-0 no-hitter over Brooklyn for the Phils, striking out 11. Mal Eason takers the loss. The Philadelphia Inquirer states, "The trolley dodgers were triumphantly baffled by Lush's drop curve."

» June 17, 1906: In another test of Sunday baseball in Brooklyn, Superbas prexy Charles Ebbets comes up with a twist--patrons will pay after the game is played. 'Nice try' say the police who arrest Ebbets, manager Ned Hanlon, the visiting Reds' manager Joe Kelley, and starting P Mal Eason. The case is dismissed as no admission was charged. In addition to the visit to the police precinct, the Reds whip Brooklyn, 3-0.

» July 20, 1906: Brooklyn righthander Mal Eason, the victim of John Lush's no-hitter in May, no-hits the Cardinals 2-0 at St. Louis. Eason walks three and strikes out 5. This will be Eason's last season as an active player: he will become an NL umpire.

» September 6, 1913: Ed Reulbach pitches Brooklyn to a 2–0 whitewash of the Giants, allowing just two hits. Christy Mathewson takes the loss, his 9th of the year. John McGraw, frustrated with his team's lack of hitting, losses an argument with ump Mal Eason and is tossed.

» April 29, 1915: Federal League star Benny Kauff jumps from the Brookfeds to the New York Giants. When Boston refuses to play if Kauff is in the Giants' lineup, ump Ernie Quigley forfeits the game to New York. The two teams agree to play an exhibition game. The other ump, Mal Eason, telephones NL president John Tener, who declares Kauff ineligible until reinstated and orders Eason to forfeit the game to Boston. Meanwhile, the Braves win the exhibition game, 13–8. The next day Tener rules this to be an official game, and both forfeits are canceled. Kauff goes back to Brooklyn where he leads the FL at .342, and John McGraw has to wait until next year to sign him.
