On May 26, 1920 Ray Chapman was at bat vs Walter Johnson (who was pitching in relief) in the late innings. The fog started rolling into Griffith Stadium.
Chapman, who usually crowded the plate, had two quick strikes against him. At that point he stepped out of the batter's box and told the Umpire that he
cannot see the ball. He refused to face another pitch from Walter Johnson for fear of his life. The Umpire insisted he get back in the batters box.
Then Walter Johnson approached the Umpire, handed him the ball, and told him he was done pitching.
Now, I ask you....is this occurrence some sort of strange omen....or what ?
