Pete Daley

Anecdote

• August 22, 1957: Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Indians. Boston had one out in the top of the ninth inning, with Gene Mauch running at second base, Pete Daley at first, and Mike Fornieles at bat. Fornieles hit a sinking liner that Cleveland shortstop Chico Carrasquel speared in shallow center field. Carrasquel then threw to first to double-up Daley while Mauch continued around third and gone to home plate. The teams then switched positions. As soon as Boston pitcher Fornieles made his first pitch, umpire Hank Soar informed the scorer that Mauch's run counted because no appeal had been made on Mauch before Daley had been put out. Had the Indians also made an appeal on Mauch at second base, that "fourth out" would take precedence over the appeal on Daley, and the run scored by Mauch would have been prevented.
