This occurred during a 1950's game between Pittsburgh and the Milwaukee Braves. Both Harvey Haddix (Pittsburgh) and the Braves Pitcher had no-hitters going into extra innings. During the Braves half of the thirteenth, Henry Aaron hit a double, and the next man up was intentionally walked. Now, with men on first and second, the next Brave hit a home-run. Aaron, thinking it was a fly-ball which was caught, headed for the dugout, and was passed by his teammates. Of course, he was passed and the game ended 2-0 instead of 3-0. Matthew Merzbacher (unc!mam)
