Notes & reviews

Debut game for Bill Singer
DWS: note that the ladj record accomplishes nothing, since Boccabella was already legitimately in this batting slot. our entry currently and incorrectly charges Boccabella with the at bat; that needs to be fixed by special case coding.
John Boccabella tripled but the Dodgers appealed that he was not on lineup card (Ernie Banks was) and therefore Boccabella was batting out of turn; Banks was ruled to be the proper batter and was called out; this is incorrect; by rule Boccabella became the first baseman, batting fifth when he replaced Banks in the field in the top of the first inning, but since the ruling wasn't challenged, Banks was officially charged with the at-bat
