1987 - Williamsport (Eastern League) Bills catcher Dave Bresnahan introduces a new wrinkle to baseball, the hidden potato. With a Reading runner, Rick Rudblad, on third base, Bresnahan returns from a time out with a shaved potato hidden in his mitt. On the next pitch he throws the potato wildly on a pickoff attempt. When the runner trots home, Bresnahan tags him out with the real ball. The umpire, unamused, rules the runner safe, gives the catcher an error, and fines him $50. He is released the following day.
One of my all-time favorites :allears:

A little late, but alert.

Seeing athletes go from The Chosen One to Ireedemable Villain in less than a year or two never gets old.

e: also there's something vaguely pornographic-sounding in a lineup of "Phegley, Semien, Eaton"
