If Bisons can stay close, they have a crafty old right hander down in the pen who can close out the tiggers

See a play just now made me recall game about 20 years ago.

I don't recall who we were playing but I recall a bad throw to first that got by the Vol first baseman.The runner ran through first base as you would expect but did not advance to second. There were not a lot fans in attendance by the way so this is likely how this happened.

I don't recall how I thought of this but I started screaming from my seat that the runner made the turn. after passing the base and seeing the ball get by the fielder. (He didn't.) I was sitting above the third base dugout on the front row prior to MVP seats.

I think Delmonico heard me and yelled at the 1B to tag the runner as he was strolling back to first. The umpire called the runner out. The opposing base coach and the coach lost their minds.

The umpire obviously was not paying attention and must have heard me being VERY adamant about the play. Let me stress, in no way did the baserunner even feint toward second.
