Notes & reviews

High bounder
Short passed ball
Watwood fumbled
Reynolds threw into the Chicago dugout
The game was delayed while the White Sox players forcibly persuaded McKain from walking over to the Cleveland dugout and taking a punch at Roger Peckinpaugh, who apparently had been riding him. McKain was then escorted from the field.
Great diving catch
Off J.Sewell's glove
Into the upper deck of RF pavilion
Falk lost it in the sun
Byrne's ML debut
