Baseball History
In 1917 the Red Sox pitcher and catcher were tossed by the umpire for arguing balls and strikes after the first batter walked. When the Red Sox brought in a new pitcher and catcher the base runner was promptly thrown out trying to steal second. The pitcher then retired the next 26 batters in a row. For a while he was credited with a Perfect Game. Not anymore though.
The pitcher who got tossed in the first--Babe Ruth.
