On August 7, 1915, a crafty decoy play by the Cardinals’ manager left the Dodgers stunned—and forced baseball to close a loophole. With the Cardinals and Dodgers tied 4-4 in the seventh, St. Louis manager Miller Huggins—coaching third—called out to rookie pitcher Ed Appleton to toss him the ball. Appleton obliged, only to watch in disbelief as Huggins stepped aside and two runners raced home. The Cardinals took the lead and won 6-4, but the play caused such an uproar that MLB later banned scoring on such decoy tricks.
