  "account": "On August 28, 1960, the Chicago White Sox found themselves in a dire situation against the Baltimore Orioles. Starting the day 2 ½ games behind the Yankees, they were trailing the Orioles 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning. With two outs, Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox, and Roy Sievers delivered consecutive singles, scoring a run and loading the bases. Manager Al Lopez then called upon Ted Kluszewski to pinch-hit. Trailing by three runs, Kluszewski stepped up to the plate, facing Milt Pappas. After Kluszewski hit a pitch into the right-field stands, third base umpire Ed Hurley inexplicably called time, claiming he had seen the signal to call time from Assistant Manager Floyd Robinson and Earl Torgeson. Kluszewski protested the call, but it stood. This bizarre incident led the White Sox to lose the game 3-1, pushing them three games behind the Yankees in the standings.",
