On August 1, 1972, a soggy Detroit afternoon turned into a battle of wits. The Brewers raced to a 7-0 lead over the Tigers in a rain-soaked game that needed five innings to be official. Tigers skipper Billy Martin ordered stall tactics, while Brewers manager Del Crandall tried everything to speed things up. The bizarre back-and-forth ended only when umpires threatened both benches with $1,000 fines, leading to a 9-0, 6-inning Milwaukee win.
