This day in Cubs history

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:31:16 +1900

UMPIRE PICKS ON 'THE VULTURE' Aug. 18, 1968 | In the first game of a doubleheader against the visiting Reds, umpire Chris Pelekoudas calls three illegal pitches against Cubs reliever Phil Regan, twice allowing a retired batter to hit again. Not that the ump found evidence of scuffing or foreign substances. He bases the calls on ''the flight of the ball.'' After the Cubs protest a 2-1 loss, NL president Warren Giles orders Pelekoudas to apologize to Regan, a future Cubs pitching coach, whom he calls a ''fine Christian gentleman.'' The father of Seattle GM Lee Pelekoudas got the last word that winter when MLB's rules committee amended the spitball rule to allow umpires to call illegal pitches based on the flight of the ball.
