After a 7–6 loss in a 1913 game against Fort Wayne, Terre Haute player/manager [[Goat Anderson]] protested the game. During the game, a loose [[Great Dane]] named “Don” ran at Anderson as he chased after a base hit in left field. “Don” running and jumping at Anderson caused him to hesitate and the batter ended up with a triple on the play. Anderson filed a protest that the entire game be played over. Central League president Louis Heilbroner denied Anderson’s protest, reasoning that the play was not a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Heilbroner ordered that Don no longer be allowed on the field during games.https://baseballhistorydaily.com/tag/terre-haute-terriers/
