This has been driving me nuts for years...
Does anyone (besides me) recall a game vs. Cleveland in 1978, where Lenny Barker was pitching, and George Scott was up at bat?
Barker threw a wild pitch that went up the backstop screen and got stuck.
To the best of my recollection, Scott swung at it (it would have been strike 3), and, being a wild pitch, ran to first and ended up circling the bases and scoring..This is the way I remember it happening. Someone please set me straight. Thanks, Ed
