 " When Spalding compiles the history of remarkable games for his Guide for 1885 , it will embrace the fact that in the Detroit @-@ Philadelphia game of October 1 Getzien , the Detroit pitcher , was not batted for a base – a feat seldom accomplished . It should contain further fact that of eighteen men at bat he struck out ten , and of the other eight but one hit the ball beyond the diamond – Purcell , in the first inning , a fly to Weidman . Of the other seven , only three hit to the diamond , or a total of four balls struck inside the foul lines . Of the eighteen , [ Detroit catcher ] Gastfield put out eleven and threw out three others , Bennett , Scott and Weidman each had a fly , and Jones threw one out at first . "
