Call Him Pass Ball Petralli
Our man Geno Petralli had quite the bad day back on August 30th, 1987, when he stepped in behind the plate to catch ole’ knuckleballer Charlie Hough. In the afternoon affair against the Detroit Tigers, Geno would allow a record 6 passed balls, allowing the Tigers to score 7 unearned runs, in their 7-0 win. Petralli had a record 35 passed balls in ‘87, with 32 of them coming while trying to wrangle in one of Charlie’s knucklers. He’s also the weirdo who bit Bo Jackson in 1993, during the infamous Nolan Ryan vs Robin Ventura dust up.
