Baseball Historian Archives Notes

The sun was high in the sky when Game 2 of the 1922 World Series was called 'on account of darkness' with the score tied 3-3 in the 10th inning... Baseball Comississioner Judge Landis was so irate at the decision that he had both teams donate the gate receipts to charity.
