The Agony of Sept 24, 1988: Dave Stieb had retired 26 consecutive Indians. With two strikes on Julio Franco, Stieb threw a sharp slider off the plate. Franco hit a routine two-hopper straight at second baseman Manny Lee, but the ball hit the cold seam in Exhibition Stadium's artificial turf and bounced 5.8 feet straight over Lee's glove into center field.
