Weaver Loses Both Sides In Forfeit Over Tarpaulin Dispute
Earl Weaver led the Orioles to forfeit a game against Toronto after umpire Marty Springstead refused to order removal of a tarp covering the left field bullpen pitcher's mound. Weaver protested a potential injury risk to Andres Mora, saying the tarp endangered players. Umpires declared Toronto the winner after a 115 minute delay. Major League results followed across the AL and NL with teams including the Red Sox, Yankees, Royals, Twins, Rangers, and others posting wins.
