Yankees Blast Umpires After Labor Day Doubleheader
The Yankees split a Labor Day doubleheader with the Orioles, losing 6-5 in 11 innings and winning 5-3. A heated on-field dispute with umpires followed a ruling on Hank Bauer’s trap play, and later Larry Napp’s call on Gil McDougald led to a near-riot with spectators behind the visitors’ dugout. Orioles manager Paul Richards blasted the umpires as “cry babies” after the trafik. The day also saw the Red Sox and Dodgers win, while the Giants fell from the pace and St. Louis moved into sole possession of fourth.
