May 4, 1963 against the Chicago Cubs, Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves set the all time balk record, which may never be broken, for balks in an inning (3) and a game (5), and Denny Lemaster recorded another balk in the 8th inning that brought the team total to 6.

Here is the boxscore

The most frustrating part must have been walking Billy Williams in the third inning and proceed to balk him around the bases and have him score.

Bob Shaw was ejected from the game, apparently arguing balls and strikes- the complete story can be found here. But the rule interpretation was at its strictist, causing the high frequency of calls. Al Barlick was the umpire and was later inducted to the Hall of Fame, and was known as a fair umpire who called everything to the letter of the law, and from other stories I heard made loudest strike calls with his deep voice.

Thought I would pass this along, and maybe post every once in awhile a relavant "This Day In History" fanshot, or maybe just include it as a comment in the Mug going forward.
