Ray Morgan played second base for Washington for parts of 8 seasons, only two of which were more or less full-time. When teamed with defensive standout Pinch McBride, Morgan was part of a first-rate double play combo for several years. He hit a little better than McBride, posting a career OBP of .348. Like many ordinary players, Morgan did not look to set records or figure into noteworthy events. And then, one day in 1917 . . . Morgan dug in as the lead-off hitter in Boston's new-fangled Fenway Park against one of the better up-and-coming pitchers in the league, a fellow named Babe Ruth. Four times Ruth delivered and four times Morgan took and four times the umpire grunted no strike. Ruth was beside himself at the calls and proceeded to argue until the umpire threw him out of the game. Ernie Shore came in to replace Ruth and on his first pitch Morgan was thrown out trying to steal second base. Shore proceeded to retire all 26 batters he faced to get temporary credit for a perfect game. Eventually, that credit ended up shared with Ruth, as subsequent revisions in the applicable criteria made the game a combined no-hitter.
