[Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh 7/17/1882] What promised to be a wretched exhibition of ball playing between the Cicinnatis and Alleghenys was fortunately terminated in the third inning by a small cyclone. .. [in the bottom of] the third inning a furious storm swept up, and there was a panic among the spectators and players to reach the Exposition Building. The grounds had scarcely been cleared when the Directors’ stand was raised from its foundation and thrown several feet forward. The backstop was blown down, and lumber scattered in all directions.
