Reminds me of a play in the 1962 season, I believe. Marvelous Marv Throneberry of the Mets hit a triple, and was called out on appeal for not touching 1st base. Manager Casey Stengel came out to umpire, and the ump said, "Casey, don't bother, he didn't touch 2nd base either." Stengel responded, "Well, I sure as hell know he touched 3rd, he's standing on it!"
I would imagine we'll get a few more of these stories revisited while the Tigers make their run at history.
