John McGraw Trivia [View all]
in 1902 Baltimore's John McGraw was hit by a pitch in 5 different at bats against Boston's Bill Dinneen. In every case he was not awarded first base because home plate umpire Jack Sheridan determined McGraw had gotten hit intentionally. To add to this, Sheridan eventually ejected McGraw from the game. The league backed Sheridan.
