Notes & reviews

  • Protest=V
  • in the previous game, Eddie Stanky had stood behind 2B and waved his arms each time Andy Seminick batted; the Phillies had protested this action as unsportsmanlike; crew chief Al Barlick tried to contact NL president Ford Frick before this game to ask for a ruling; Barlick talked with Giants manager Leo Durocher about this; Durocher agreed to have Stanky stop until Frick could rule on it, since there was nothing in the rule book about it; here Stanky waved his arms but froze in place a Sheldon Jones started his pitching motion
  • Andy Seminick struck Hank Thompson on the jaw with his elbow on an attempted tag at 3B; Thompson was knocked out
  • Eddie Stanky ejected by 2B umpire Lon Warneke for waving his arms to distract Andy Seminick; Durocher had called off the prohibition after Seminick hurt Hank Thompson; Seminick threw his bat onto the diamond after the second pitch and Stanky was tossed for 'conduct detrimental to baseball'; Durocher protested the game
  • Andy Seminick slid hard into Bill Rigney; the two started a fight, both benches cleared and a melle erupted; Seminick and Rigney ejected by 2B umpire Lon Warneke
