95 YEARS AGO TODAY (June 17, 1910):
When Louis Drucke falters against the Pirates in the top of the 9th, Giants
manager John McGraw calls for Bugs Raymond to protect the 3–2 lead. Raymond has
supposedly been warming up behind the stands, but apparently had visited a
saloon across the way, and swapped a ball for two shots of whiskey. Raymond hits
two batters, allows two hits and tosses one wild, and the Pirates win, 6–3. A
furious McGraw suspends the pitcher indefinitely. Bugs will be back on July 5th.
