FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » May 19, 1893: Held scoreless for the first eight innings, both Brooklyn and the Boston Beaneaters score three runs in the 9th to send the game into extra innings. Boston's Billy Nash hits the ball over the LF fence in the bottom of the 9th, but he stays on 3B "to bother the pitcher." The tactic works, as Nash does score. Both teams score one run in the 10th—Boston scoring on another Nash blow over the LF fence, which he runs out this time. Boston finally claims the game after a 12-inning struggle 5–4. » May 8, 1896: In the top of the 9th inning, Philadelphia's Billy Nash starts to argue with the umpire over a called strike. Clark Griffith throws a pitch in the midst of the argument which nicks Nash's bat, resulting in a DP. Griffith's quick thinking helps the Chicago Colts take a 5–3 victory. » May 21, 1901: Giants fractious owner Andrew Freedman accuses umpire Billy Nash of incompetence and bars him from the Polo Grounds. Pirate Chief Zimmer and the Giants John Warner are forced to officiate. Mathewson then wins his 7th straight, 2-1, but his scoreless streak stops at 39 innings when the Bucs score an unearned run in the 9th.
