View Full Version : Sherry Magee - This Day (July 10) 100 Years Ago

On this day, 100 years ago, Sherry Magee dropped home plate umpire, Bill Finneran, with one punch while arguing a called third strike. Later that day, a fan at the Baker Bowl would be ejected from the park, giving Philadelphia fans the notable distinction of having the first fan ousted from a Major League Baseball game in the sport's history ( - throughout the remainder of the 20th century, Philly fans would further build a reputation of being somewhat unruly, but I digress).
Did this incident contribute to Magee being overlooked as a potential candidate for election into Baseball's Hall of Fame?

It definately doesnt help his cause! That would probably buy you a lifetime suspension in today's game.

Hard to imagine what Robbie Alomar did is much better. Yet I see Robbie going in.

For many years I have tried to plead his case. He was a very popular, important and great player during the deadball era. Wish he could get more recognition. Here is my Magee....rough but still great for me!!

Whether or not he goes to the Hall- You can't escape the reputation you create for yourself. Alomar might be the LEAST popular player in the HOF. Everyone remember's Alomars spitting incident, but that was just one of many acts over his consistently classless career. He also did the Tomahawk chop in the 1992 World Series as he ran from 3rd base to home plate. You get away with that stuff in minor league ball or spring training, but to disrespect a fanbase like that in the World Series? He's just a lowlife. Very sad and unfortunate that he was inducted...
