1976
At Honolulu's Aloha Stadium‚ in a PCL game between the Tacoma Twins and Hawaii‚ Twins P Bill Butler ignores the stadium ban against metal cleats and begins warming up. Stadium officials then turn the outfield lights off‚ and after 30 minutes of darkness‚ umpire Bill Lawson forfeits the game to Tacoma. PCL President Roy Jackson supports the umpire‚ but a few weeks later‚ Minor League head Bobby Bragan overrules Jackson and orders the game replayed.
I don't know what it is, but I love this story.
