Whether you already do regular exercise or are just starting a fitness program, you are ready to add some muscle-building exercises into your life. You know that building up your muscles will make you stronger, help your clothes to fit better and can improve your posture and strengthen your core. More importantly, as we grow older, having a healthy amount of muscle on our body can help prevent age-related injuries and ensure we can stay as active as possible. Building muscle keeps you feeling fit, healthy and young.
Although it can feel like the wild west in the fitness world when it comes to effective training, there are a number of female-focused muscle-building techniques that are very effective. The following tips are a great place to start, which also share interesting info on how women's bodies differ from men's when it comes to weight lifting.
Building Muscle: Different for Women
In order to determine the most effective and safest muscle-building workouts, it is important to understand some key differences in physiology between men and women. As Livestrong notes, while the skeletal muscles of men are faster and create a higher maximum output than women, women are more resistant to fatigue and recover more quickly. In addition, men have more skeletal muscle mass than women, which is why men tend to be physically stronger. But there are plenty of ways women can develop their skeletal muscles to increase their strength.
Focus on Exercises that Use Multiple Muscles
To get the best bang for your buck, Stack suggests doing compound exercises, which engage multiple muscle groups and joints. These include the deadlift, squat and bench press. For each type of these exercises, find a weight that will challenge you and strive to finish three sets of 8-12 reps. As this becomes easier, increase the weight. Strive to do this type of strength training at least two times a week; this will help you to see tangible results like muscle gain in six to eight weeks.
Add in Some Low-impact Cardio
In order to help boost your muscle mass, add in some light cardiovascular workouts—but nothing too strenuous. As Shape notes, cardio gets more oxygen into your blood, which encourages muscle growth. But to really build muscles, the focus should be on more strength training. A good rule of thumb is to do one day of low-impact cardio—maybe a one or two mile jog or brisk walk as opposed to a six mile run. If you do both workouts on the same day, don't do the cardio before strength training, as it will make your muscles extra tired and increase your chances of getting injured.
Fuel Your Body
In order to build muscle, your body needs lots of healthy food. As much as you can, stay away from fast food and foods that have been processed and fried. Shoot for five or six smaller meals throughout the day. On your workout days, enjoy a healthy combo of clean carbs and lean protein about an hour before you exercise, and then about 30 minutes after you workout.
An effective way to get needed glycogen into your body post-workout and help restore your muscles is with a carb/protein drink. Also, to add extra nutrients into your system and help ensure that you get enough vitamins and minerals, even on those days when your diet is less than ideal, consider taking a high-quality supplement. If you are new to the supplement world, do some research on different companies to be sure what you are buying is made from top-quality ingredients. For example, Amway uses its Facebook page to post information about its Nutrilite and other supplements. Visit the company's social media pages to research the brand, learn more about it and vet their products.
Enjoy Your Stronger and Healthier Body
By understanding the differences between a man's and a woman's body, and coming up with a plan that has your muscles in mind, it is quite possible to build up your strength. Don't be afraid to add heavier weights to your routines as you become stronger, do some light cardio and give your body the food and supplements it needs. In a matter of months you will have reached your goal of becoming stronger and healthier.

The I2C-compatible two-wire serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and registers on the device. This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bidirectional communications between the devices connected to the bus. The two interface lines are the serial data line (SDA) and the serial clock line (SCL). Every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and acts as either a master or a slave depending on whether it generates or receives the serial clock, SCL. The SCL and SDA lines should each have a pullup resistor placed somewhere on the line and remain HIGH even when the bus is idle.

The Days In Between
The days between winter celebrations are a welcome time for reflection as an artist. While everyone else is still distracted with the aftermath of decorations, and gifting, and family time, many artists I know need some time off to retreat into the silence for a little while.
And so, as I sit here in the quiet, thinking about the cobwebs in the studio, and the array of paints and brushes strewn around, waiting, I reflect on what I might want my art to say for the future — a future that, at my age, feels no different from the present moment. I don't seriously expect an answer, but I keep repeating a few familiar questions. Is there a new message I want to convey, or do I just want to bring a little beauty to my small corner of the world? Do I want to protest against recent events that have assaulted our sense of right and wrong, or has that already been done much better by others? Or the one that sometimes paralyzes me — is there really anything new under the sun? If not, why even try? Maybe there's nothing new to be said or conveyed, but there is the distinct possibility that it hasn't yet been said in my own unique voice. There is also the distinct possibility that I'm over-thinking, which is its own paralysis.
I just need to be busy creating.
December 27, 2016 12:54 pm
Martha. I think your best work has come from your quiet times. Maybe right now you need busy space.
Sandra Kennedy permalinkDecember 27, 2016 1:54 pm
These days especially, bringing beauty into people's lives has great value, and you bring beauty to a wider "audience" than your small corner of the world. And I so agree that whatever you convey in your own unique voice is "new". I wish you a successful and creative 2017 and look forward to more of your unique and beautiful works.
December 27, 2016 8:24 pm
Overthinking stifles the creative process. We, as artists, overthink everything. This is what we do. So…..stop thinking and get to work! It's surprising what eventually happens during these overthinking and questioning times.

150 Quiz Answer
(For Three-Word Wednesday and ABC Wednesday: "Z" is for "Zero.")
Each week I've been posting a quiz here. Folks seem to like them so here's another one.
I wrote the following scene, inspired by one of the better-known Shakespeare plays. Your assignment – should you choose to accept it – is this: the scene is suggestive of which play?
"Come, sit down. Let's have a little talk."
"Yeah, Mom. Okay."
"Mervyn and I are happy to welcome you into our home, Tim. We're all family and we should be able to get together without any problems."
"And you think I'm the one who caused the problems?"
"Now, now. Get that chip off your shoulder. Sooner or later you're going to accept that your mother has married again, to a wonderful man, and that she's very happy. She would like her son to be happy for her."
"Oh, I accept it, all right. But happy about it? Not so much."
"Well, if you've made up your mind to be difficult because you never got along with your Uncle Merv, it's probably better if you don't visit so often."
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea."
"Your father is gone, Tim, dead and gone. I know that's a terrible loss for you – it's a loss for all of us – but I decided to move on and marry again. And now Merv and I are a pair. Nothing you can say or do could destroy the love that your uncle and I have for each other."
"I'm not trying to destroy it; I'm just focused on trying to understand it. Look at it from my point of view. You, my mother, are now joined up with this – this loser! Merv, for God's sake! How could you!?"
"Now Tim, I'm not going to sit here and listen to this kind of vacant talk. Be respectful or just – just leave."
"Your husband, my father, was a MAN! Talk about respect, everyone who knew him respected him, and loved him. And his brother, Merv - just look at him! He's a nothing, a zero, a small fraction of a human being when compared with my Dad! And now the thought of the two of you rolling around on a sweaty bed together makes me want to puke!"
"That's enough! I want you to leave now!"
"How could you, Mom? How could you?"
Go ahead; have a go. The previous scene is suggestive of which play?

I'll admit that Shakespeare and I are less than understanding of each other. And now that so many have correctly uncovered your plot I'm inclined to decline your challenge. But what the heck; nothing ventured etc.
I did play Hamlet in our high school production and this scene seems vaguely familiar, so I'll quess Hamlet.
- January 6, 2013 at 7:39 PM

Hamlet, surely?

I can sort of see Kenneth Branagh playing Sonny Boy, sulking through the windy passages of Hamlet!! Or is this a gotcha moment?

Lyn guessed right, and then asked: "Or is this a gotcha moment?" No, no gotcha; you gave the correct answer.

i saw David Tennant play Hamlet in Stratford - Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) played both the ghost of the king and the new husband
He'd got a sore throat, but was otherwise very good
Love's Labour's Lost???
Seriously - Hamlet, or if you prefer Baconlet (the less successful sequel)

Another right answer - and a witty one - was received from Don't Feed the Pixies. We got quite a group of winners this time around.

You didn't mention that the boy suspected his uncle/stepfather of killing his father, but it must be Hamlet.
When I was in high school back in the spring of 1963 my English class rewrote Hamlet with Jackie Kennedy marrying Bobby after John's death, We used all the political bigwigs of the day. I think NIxon was cast as one of the gravediggers. Of course we were unaware that that John Kennedy would be murdered later that year.

Berowne, I was so proud of figuring out "Hamlet," and it's the ONLY one I've guessed right so far, but here it is Monday night and I'm just getting around to reading (flu and sprained ankle), and I scrolled down the comments. Hamlet, Hamlet, Hamlet... so now I feel... a bit diminished. But your posts are so much fun! Amy

Jeff Francoeur Has Torn Thumb
Although the x-rays proved negative for breaks, an MRI has shown that Jeff Francoeur has torn ligaments in his thumb, the result of a sliding catch made over the weekend.
However, he is not expected to miss significant time. Alex Cora played with similarly torn ligaments in his thumbs, and Francoeur is just as tough — even if his nickname is "Frenchy".

Gold's Gym XRS 20 Olympic Bench Review 2022
by Kevin • • Dumbbell Benches, Olympic Benches, Weight Benches
The Gold's Gym XRS 20 Olympic Bench is a product of the well-known Gold's Gym who also operates a chain of gyms worldwide. Established in 1965, not only is Gold's one of the most recognized names in the fitness industry, they also specialize in fitness equipment such as: Treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weight benches, dumbbells, and accessories.
Our Gold's Gym XRS 20 Review below will give you more of an insight on whether this bench will be suitable for your home. It's also worth checking out our comparison of the best workout benches if your options are open.
Compatible with dumbbells or Olympic bar
One of the best features of the XRS 20 is the fact that it can be used together with the squat rack for barbell exercises, or the bench can be used individually for dumbbell exercises. Having the option to use both types of weights really gives you more options to incorporate into your workout.
With that being said, you may ask yourself, what type of dumbbells do I want? You probably would have heard of adjustable dumbbells, but it's worth keeping your options open. We put together the pros and cons of adjustable dumbbells which will also give you a comparison against standard dumbbells.
It would be difficult to use dumbbells on most other Olympic benches as the squat stand is usually permanently attached, so may obstruct your movement. If you're after the Gold's Gym weight bench with the lat pulldown, it is the Gold's Gym XRS 50 you would want.
Standalone squat rack
Being able to freely move the squat rack means that you're able to perform squats with no obstruction as you can move the bench out the way. This also means that you're not as limited on where you can place the units.
Furthermore, the height of the squat rack is adjustable which is perfect for most user heights. Thanks to this, if you place a barbell on top of the squat stand on the maximum height setting, it can even be used as a pull up bar!
6-roll leg developer
Work your quads and your hamstrings with the 6-roll leg developer. A great attachment to have as you probably wouldn't buy a separate machine to work just your hamstrings, so the leg developer ensures you won't be neglecting your hamstring muscles.
Preacher pad & curl yoke
Used to train your biceps and forearms, both attachments can be removed when you're not using it so it doesn't get in your way. Also, if you prefer, you can remove the curl yoke and use just the preacher pad along with a dumbbell to train your arms.
The curl yoke might not be comfortable for all users so using a dumbbell gives you a wider range of motion and your movement is not as limited.
Adjustable safety spotters
Believe it or not but by having safety spotters it can help you overcome some physiological barriers and help you push a little bit more than you usually would. Knowing you have a form of security can help boost your confidence and mental strength.
Adjust the safety spotters to your preferred position for bench press and squat exercises. Having an actual spotter would still be better but the safety spotters are a great alternative.
Multiple positions
Can be adjusted to flat, incline and decline positions like most adjustable exercise benches. Many Olympic benches do not have as many adjustable positions as typical benches do. So, the Gold's gym XRS 20 Olympic workout bench really gives you the same flexibility as an adjustable bench would.
Weight plate storage
On the back of the squat stand there are two posts which are used to store weight plates after you've finished your workout. Ideal for keeping your workout area tidy! It's also handy to put weights on here when exercising to help stabilize the stand.
Maximum weight
A fairly sturdy bench that'll be ideal for beginners to intermediates. The maximum limits are as follows:
Squat rack – 300 lbs
Bench – 300 lbs
Covered by a 90 day manufacturer's warranty.
Dimensions – 73″ L x 49.5″ W x 65″ H
Weight – 114 lbs
What can be improved
Decline position
Although there is a decline position on this bench, the position does not go at a decline angle as far as the Bowflex 5.1 weight bench would go to. In other words, if you're planning to use the decline position of the XRS 20 for your workouts, you might be left disappointed.
Maximum weight limits
Despite being a strong and sturdy bench, the Gold's gym XRS 20 Olympic workout bench is not designed for heavy duty use hence the maximum weight limit. A slight letdown for those who can lift more than 300 lbs, as this is a versatile and practical bench.
Warranty period
Having a long warranty period will give you more reassurance that should anything go wrong with your bench, the manufacturers will cover certain things. However, this bench only includes a 90 day warranty which is quite poor when compared to other benches such as the Powerline PFID125X, which comes with a 10 year warranty.
Not saying anything will go wrong after 90 days of using the XRS 20, but, having a longer warranty period just gives you more confidence to buy.
Alternative choices
Marcy MWB-20100
Space deprived but still want an Olympic bench? The Marcy MWB-20100 is a folding Olympic bench which makes it a great alternative choice. A fold up exercise bench is a very wise choice if you're lacking on space.
Includes just as many and very similar attachments, however, one of the downfalls is that you can't use this unit for squats. Marcy does offer a much better warranty option so this bench could be worth considering.
Body Solid GFID225
Provides a much higher maximum weight capacity so ideal for anyone who can push beyond the 300 pound capacity the XRS 20 offers. Also, backed by a lifetime warranty, so it's designed to last for a lifetime. Not to mention the fact that it can fold up and fit right under your bed!
Unfortunately, this bench does cost more money as you can imagine and it's only compatible with dumbbells rather than an Olympic bar.
Now that we've come to the end of our Gold's Gym XRS 20 review, you'll have to decide whether this Olympic bench is worth considering?
You are definitely getting your money's worth with the Gold's Gym XRS 20 Olympic Bench, not only can you bench press with a Olympic Barbell using the squat stand but you can use the weight bench separately for dumbbell exercises. An average quality squat stand alone will cost you at least $70.
As already mentioned, one of the setbacks of this bench is the fact that Gold's Gym only offers a 90 day warranty. If this is a deal breaker for you then don't worry there are plenty of other excellent home weight benches you should consider.

From the NARTH website:
"I am immediately resigning my membership in NARTH to allow myself the time necessary to fight the false media reports that have been made against me. With the assistance of a defamation attorney, I will fight these false reports because I have not engaged in any homosexual behavior whatsoever. I am not gay and never have been." –George A. Rekers, Ph.D.
NARTH has accepted Dr. Rekers' resignation and would hope that the legal process will sufficiently clarify the questions that have arisen in this unfortunate situation. We express our sincere sympathy to all individuals, regardless of their perspective, who have been injured by these events. We also wish to reiterate our traditional position that these personal controversies do not change the scientific data, nor do they detract from the important work of NARTH. NARTH continues to support scientific research, and to value client autonomy, client self-determination and client diversity.
Poor Dr. Rekers. He's still convinced that going onto a website dedicated to connecting gay prostitutes with those wishing to procure their services, selecting a young man of 20, hiring him to give erotic massage, and then taking him on a 10 day trip in Europe during which he received daily erotic massages is somehow consistent with the claim that he has not "engaged in any homosexual behavior whatsoever."
Delusion is a sad thing.
UPDATE: Prior to Rekers' resignation, NARTH may have been involved with trying to control the story. (Miami New Times)
Lucien asked Rekers repeatedly if anyone else had been involved in the questionnaire. "Yeah, one of the guys who's on the board of a professional organization with me," Rekers said.
As Lucien kept digging for details, Rekers finally admitted that the "professional organization" was NARTH.
NARTH's Pruden denies the claim.
Cuz, ya know, any advice given by NARTH members to Rekers wasn't on the behalf of NARTH itself, you know.
This is getting better and better. And my voice teacher used to tell me that real life would never manage to reach the epic stupidity of soome operas. Boy I hope he is reading this now…
This story isn't over. George Rekers must acknowledge he is a gay man and proud of it. George Rekers needs to stop carrying water for heterosexuals and their heterosexual supremacist agenda.
Hmm.. couldn't putting words in Lucien's mouth with that fake questionnaire be libelous?
Lindoro Almaviva: lol!

"False media reports"?
That's good for chukking Cheerios.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the "Dutch Study" to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins' Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family "Research" Council.

How to pack for a move without ruining your relationship
A 2015 study by British energy company E.ON UK suggested that people find moving more stressful than divorce.
A collaboration with The Boston Globe's Help Desk:
One couple I know recalls their move from Puerto Rico to Washington, D.C., in the early 1970s with horror.
The morning the movers arrived, they were not prepared, to say the least, and threw things into boxes last minute, questioning what to take and what to leave behind, arguing the whole time. The situation was made more unpleasant by the hangovers they'd earned after inviting friends over the night before to finish off all of the liquor so they wouldn't have to pack it — as any self-respecting 25-year-olds would.
Moving, experts say, is one of life's most stressful events. A 2015 study by British energy company E.ON UK suggested that people find moving more stressful than divorce.
And if you're in a relationship, you share the stress with someone you love.
Someone you might love, ahem, a little less during the moving process.
My family moved recently, and while ours was a happy event — just one town over to a bigger house and several miles closer to my husband's new job — I wouldn't say the weeks spent decluttering, packing, and budgeting for home improvements were hallmarked by our finest moments of marital harmony.
The paint job on our new house cost how much, my husband wanted to know as I sheepishly explained a few line items in our checking account. Meanwhile, I wondered whether he would really notice should I "accidentally'' put the very heavy box of his Rolling Stone magazines — which I kept tripping over — into the recycling bin.
Moving can be specifically stressful for couples, said Somaia Mohamed, a psychologist who practices in the New Haven area. Besides all of the potential for fights over mundane stresses, like the ones my husband and I experienced, moves are often tied to other major life events, which couples must navigate in tandem.
A common reason for moving is that one half of the couple has gotten a new job, for example.
"Couples move to enhance one person's career, and the other person feels like: Is this good for my career, or am I just tagging along?'' Mohamed said. "The person who feels like they've been moved sometimes resents that and feels that the other partner should make up for it somehow. But the other person is wrapped up in their new situation.''
Couples therapy isn't something reserved for those with "bigger issues'' and can help with the stress, she said.
Also, be nice to yourselves, Mohamed said, suggesting that couples who can afford it should order in food, take family and friends up on their offers to babysit, and get plenty of sleep to counteract the inherit anxiety of moving.
It's important that both you and your partner feel supported, she said.
Mel Schwartz, a psychotherapist who practices in Westport, Conn., and Manhattan and authored the book "The Possibility Principle,'' agreed: "A move brings up a lot of uncertainty,'' Schwartz said. "Although we can plot it out and make plans, we can't be sure how it's all going to work out, how you're going to feel in a new home, and what your children will think of a new school.''
This simmering unpredictability can amp up the potential for disagreements. So checking in with each other during a move is key, especially when one partner is more comfortable with the change than the other, he said. "It's important to be empathic and compassionate. So often we fall into trouble because of unasked questions. We need to validate one another's feelings.''
"Moving is one of the most stressful events,'' said Sarah Buckwalter, founder of Organizing Boston, which specializes in home and office organization and moves. "I think it's like anything with couples. Major decisions and division of responsibilities can be challenging because it requires an extra level of communication.''
That being said, she strongly recommends both. Divvying up duties while keeping communication lines open with your partner can improve all aspects of a move.
She recommends starting with a detailed list, whether it's homemade or provided by a professional (Organizing Boston gives clients a set of moving checklists). Individuals, couples, and families alike should lay out every step, from booking movers — as many months in advance as possible, especially in a busy city like Boston — to switching utilities to your new address.
Agreeing on a budget can be particularly important for couples, and she mentioned a few money-saving tips: moving in the middle of the week or in an off-season (winter vs. spring) will save money; you can often find needed supplies, like moving boxes, by asking around on social networks; and as for the actual cost on moving day, she suggests making it "easy on the movers'' by color-coding and labeling boxes so the moving team knows where to put them, making the move less time-consuming and less costly.
As for the tough work of decluttering — which she strongly recommends doing in advance of a move — the anxiety associated with deciding what to keep and what to give up provides ample room for arguments, Buckwalter said. Angry that your spouse insists on keeping his large collection of concert T-shirts (or, in my case, copies of Rolling Stone)? Let it go, she suggested, and concentrate instead on your own personal belongings and the bigger picture.
"One of my tips when it comes to moving with couples and families is to deal with your own stuff and don't try to direct the other person with theirs,'' she said.
She also recommends a "use it or lose it'' policy to clients, suggesting they use up their cleaning supplies, toiletries, food, and other items, not buying much in the few months prior to a move. "If there's stuff you didn't even touch, that's a good indication you can get rid of it,'' she said.
Rhea Becker, a professional organizer with Boston area-based The Clutter Queen, agrees that a divide-and-conquer attitude helps couples avoid moving-related spats; in fact, she usually insists on working with one person at a time when helping a couple organize or move. "Otherwise it can get into discussions that really slow down the process,'' Becker said.
She recommends starting the decluttering/packing process two to three months out from the move, delegating tasks as they make sense to the couple or family.
"If one of you is a big cook, then perhaps that person would be designated to handle the kitchen, and if someone has a study, then they would be handling that room,'' she said. And with two people in two different rooms, the work flows in double time.
To streamline the process further, she suggests having moving boxes in the room while working, "so as you are making decisions, you can pack things.'' Pack the least-used items first, and make sure you've got necessities like the coffee maker and toothbrushes accessible for that first overnight in the new place. If your layout allows it, put all the moving boxes in one or two rooms, so you can continue living a normal life in the rest of the house or apartment until moving day.
Well, semi-normal, anyway. Because even the best-organized moves are disruptive, unpredictable and just not that much fun for couples. Or anyone.
But in addition to mastering the logistics, a change in attitude can help. When it comes to the sadness and anxiety that can headline a move, Schwartz advises adopting a philosophical viewpoint that seems overly simplistic, but he believes really works.
"Ask yourself, 'What am I stressed about?' And if it's the uncertainty, we need to change our relationship with that,'' he said.
In other words, whether the move is cross-country or just a few blocks away, try getting a new perspective.
Remember that change is difficult but also exciting.
"I think it's about looking at it differently,'' he continued. "We can see it as something new and have a sense of adventure about it.''

Agenda for Adaptation
3 October 2010
With a new negotiating text for negotiations under the LCA track, ECO finds many valuable elements but we nevertheless have some important concerns. First and foremost, there seems to be the tendency, by developed countries in particular, to push towards the weaker options.
In order to make the adaptation framework a driver for action in developing countries, rather than an empty shell, Parties must strive to provide clear linkages in the adaptation framework between plans and implementation, institutions and finance. What is needed is a legal commitment to fund adaptation in the vulnerable countries according to their own priorities and preferred measures.
There are more than enough arguments for scaling up action. Here are three good suggestions made by the LCA Chair, fully supported by ECO. Achieving progress on these issues in Tianjin will make a big step towards a successful and effective agreement in Cancun.
1. On institutional arrangements, ECO supports the establishment of an Adaptation Committee. While the Nairobi Work Programme generated important knowledge and lessons learnt, it is limited to scientific and technical work. An Adaptation Committee not only can benefit from the NWP but also would have the task and the mandate to give additional impetus for large scale implementation, as well as providing the COP with the insights needed for more concrete direction-setting.
2. On the issue of monitoring and reporting of both finance and activities, ECO considers that developed countries should report on the support they deliver, and developing countries should report on their actions, progress achieved and lessons learnt.
However, the two types of reporting have to be considered separately. Based on their obligations, developed countries must report in the context of a defined, stringent monitoring system of finance (MRV). Reporting by developing countries on their actions is required to provide information and outcomes of the funded activities and analysis of the effects, but should not be used to deny future funding. Including local-level monitoring is crucial to ensuring that local populations targeted by the actions are given the opportunity to present their views.
3. Finally, the chair wants ideas on how to address loss and damage from climate change. ECO supports the demand put forward by the particularly vulnerable countries facing climate impacts for which adaptation will not be possible, for an international mechanism to address their losses and damage. This should be established as soon as possible, but it must prioritise the particularly vulnerable countries and people. Conversely, inclusion of response measures is not acceptable at all; to begin with it would divert resources from the most vulnerable. The negotiating text (option 1) already provides a good overview of the required functions. While more time for technical considerations may be appropriate, an open-ended process of further consideration and a vague commitment of cooperation, as suggested through option 2 in paragraph 8 of the adaptation text, would not be appropriate. ECO highlights how important it is to move forward right here, right now.
The outcomes at Cancun will have a serious impact on the future of the UNFCCC process, with the most vulnerable countries having the most to lose from falling short or even outright failure.
Parties must carefully weigh the shortcomings in the current text and find a way to agree a framework that will signify success in the UNFCCC process.

Until 1950, a courtesy runner was allowed for a player if that player had been injured and at the moment couldn't continue. The original player then stayed in the game defensively in the next inning, although sometimes the injured player did not return. If the replacement runner was already in the game, we still count this as a courtesy runner. Most often the courtesy runner was already in the lineup. If a courtesy runner scored, he got the credit for the run scored. We also have four examples of courtesy fielders listed here. This list is due mainly to the efforts of Dave Vincent with enhancements by Rob Wood. If you know of any other instances, please e-mail webmaster--ATsign--retrosheet.org
Practices in the early years of major league play were often quite different from those in the early 20th Century. For more information see Early Practices.
Mid-Play Runners:
We have found two cases when a player who was entitled to advance was physically unable to do so. A pinch runner was allowed to enter the game and complete the play. These are not courtesy runners because the replaced player was known to be unable to later come back into the game. The relevant rule is 5.10(c)(1) which allows for the replacement of an injured runner in a dead ball situation before play resumes. We list them here below the courtesy runners list because of the unusual circumstances for a pinch runner. If you know of any others, please let us know.

Here are the known instances of this event from our files:
8/28/1877 (Louisville at Boston NL) - Jumbo Latham was hurt playing first base for Louisville. Al Nichols finished an inning for Latham but Jumbo batted in the next half inning and singled. Leftfielder George Hall ran for Latham. When Hall's turn at bat came around centerfielder Bill Crowley replaced Hall as the courtesy runner. After all this Latham returned to the field in the next half inning.
8/29/1882 (Baltimore at St. Louis AA) - Jumbo McGinnis grounded to the Baltimore pitcher Doc Landis but Ed Brown was running for him from behind the plate. On a throwing error, Brown circled the bases with the winning run.
6/18/1883 (New York at St. Louis AA) - George Strief of the St. Louis club injured his leg in the fourth inning. In the fourth, Strief made a hit and limped to 1B where Tony Mullane waited. Mullane took over as a courtesy runner once Strief reached 1B and Mullane ran to 3B. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Strief hit the ball into an area that was closed off down the RF line but the ball was considered in play. The enclosed area had the players' bath in it. John Ewing ran the bases for Strief as Chief Roseman attempted to retrieve the ball. Ewing scored on the play for a home run. Ewing was in the game himself and merely ran for Strief on the play.
8/21/1884 (Detroit at Boston NL) - Tom Kearns strained his knee running out a hit in the fifth inning. Frank Cox ran for him and was eventually forced out at third. Frank Meinke replaced Kearns in the field and homered later in the game.
5/30/1887 (Cincinnati at Baltimore AA) - In the fourth inning with one out, Jumbo Davis of Baltimore, in the eighth spot in the batting order, singled and stole second base. He tore his pants sliding into the bag at second and was replaced by Oyster Burns. Burns stole third without a wardrobe malfunction, After Matt Kilroy walked, both runners scored on a double by Bill Greenwood. Greenwood stole third and scored on catcher Jim Keenan's throwing error. After Blondie Purcell singled, Burns hit and doubled, eventually scoring a second run in the frame. Davis returned to the field with repaired pants.
6/8/1887 Louisville at Baltimore (AA) - In the third inning, Hub Collins tripled and sprained his leg. Chicken Wolf took his place on the base and scored on a hit by Pete Browning." Wolf then hit in his own spot in the batting order, immediately after Browning, and flew out to RF. At the beginning of the fourth, there was controversy as to who would replace Collins. Louisville's manager Kick Kelly wanted to substitute Guy Hecker, thus giving Louisville a potential fresh pitching arm, but Baltimore captain Oyster Burns protested this move and as a result, Lave Cross was placed in RF and Wolf moved to left.
8/25/1887 (Philadelphia at Cleveland AA) - Henry Larkin was too lame to run the bases so in the fifth inning, Fred Mann ran for his teammate. Cleveland pitcher Mike Morrison picked off Mann but Cub Stricker dropped the ball. Chippy McGarr then drove in Mann with a double. Mann might have run for Larkin the entire game.
9/8/1887 (Cincinnati at Baltimore AA) - In the seventh inning, Blondie Purcell of the Baltimores (batting fourth) was hit on the arm by a pitch from Elmer Smith. Oyster Burns (who batted third) ran for Purcell. Burns was forced out at second when Tommy Tucker hit to shortstop Frank Fennelly. Jackie Hayes replaced Purcell in right field when the latter could not return to the field.
10/8/1887 (Detroit at Indianapolis NL) - In the bottom of the third frame (at the time the home team often batted first), Detroit's Dan Brouthers singled and was injured stealing second. Deacon White, already in the lineup, ran for Brouthers and scored on Sam Thompson's triple. In the top of the fourth, Charlie Bennett played first base when Brouthers could not continue.
4/28/1888 (Cleveland at Baltimore AA) - In the fifth inning, Baltimore's Joe Sommer was injured running the bases. Shortstop Jack Farrell ran for Sommer, who returned to the field in the next half-inning.
8/6/1888 (Indianapolis at New York NL) - New York's Buck Ewing strained his injured leg running out a 2-base error in the top of the 5th, and LF James O'Rourke was used as a courtesy runner for him. He was put out on a fielder's choice on the next play.
9/19/1888 (New York at Pittsburgh NL) - In the top of the second with home team Pittsburgh batting first, Jake Beckley hit a Texas Leaguer and took second when no one covered the bag. He injured his ankle, and the Pittsburgh pitcher Ed Morris ran for him. Apparently Beckley would have been permitted to stay in the game had he been able to do so, but he was hurt too badly and had to leave the game.
9/22/1888 (Cleveland @ St. Louis AA, game 1) - In the sixth inning, Harry Lyons of the Browns was hit on the hand by Cleveland pitcher Cinders O'Brien. Charlie Comiskey, who was hitting fourth in the lineup, ran for Lyons and eventually scored a run. When Lyons could not continue, Comiskey moved to CF and Jack Boyle replaced Lyons in the sixth spot in the lineup and played first base.
6/14/1889 (Kansas City at Brooklyn AA) - Brooklyn's Oyster Burns was hurt while running the bases in the eighth inning. Catcher Doc Bushong was allowed to run for Burns and scored a run in the inning. Both Burns and Bushong remained in the game.
9/2/1889 (Pittsburgh at New York, game 2) - As was a usual practice of the day, the home team batted first in this game. In the bottom of the third Ned Hanlon, hitting in the leadoff spot, singled with one out. Doggie Miller, already in the game in the seventh spot in the lineup, ran for Hanlon. He was stranded at third when the inning finished. In the next half inning, Bill Sowders replaced Hanlon in the field.
9/5/1889 (Indianapolis at New York) - The visitors were batting in the bottom of the fifth when Tim Keefe's pitch hit Ed Andrews in the stomach. Jack McGeachey, who was already in the game, ran for Andrews and scored on Jack Glasscock's double. Andrews remained in the game.
5/1/1891 (Cincinnati at Cleveland NL) - In the bottom of the fourth, Cleveland's Ralph Johnson was hit by a pitch and limped to the bench for treatment. Cupid Childs, who was playing second base in the game, ran for him and eventually scored. Johnson returned to the field in the top of the fifth.
5/22/1891 (Boston at Cleveland NL) - In the fifth inning, Cleveland's Jack Doyle was hit on the left elbow while running the bases. When he could not continue, Cupid Childs, who was already in the game playing second base, ran for Doyle. Doyle was unable to continue in the field, so George Davis moved from center field to third base and Ed Seward replaced Doyle, playing center field. Although the replaced runner left the game, Childs was in the contest, so is considered a courtesy runner.
5/27/1891 (Brooklyn at Cleveland NL) - In the seventh inning, Adonis Terry walked but twisted his ankle stepping on the base. Catcher Tom Kinslow ran for him and Terry returned to the mound in the next inning.
6/8/1891 (Cleveland at Brooklyn NL) - In the fourth inning, Jimmy McAleer was running to third, where the fielder, George Pinkney, swung his arm and hit McAleer on the back of the head. After a delay, Jerry Denny, already in the lineup, ran for McAleer. In the next inning, McAleer returned to the field but seemed ill. He was removed from the game and the Brooklyn doctor who examined him called it a mild concussion. Ed Seward replaced McAleer in the field.
7/3/1891 (Baltimore at Philadelphia AA) - Baltimore's Perry Werden spiked Philadelphia's Tommy Corcoran in the first inning. Henry Larkin ran for him.
6/21/1894 (Boston at Washington) - In the third inning, Al Maul of Washington, leading off, was hit on the left arm and injured. Deacon McGuire, Washington's catcher and cleanup hitter, ran for him. McGuire advanced to second on a walk, then was safe trying to steal third when Boston third baseman Billy Nash dropped the throw. After a fly out, McGuire scored on a triple. Interestingly, he was the next batter due at the time.
8/28/1894 (Chicago at Philadelphia NL) - In this game, catcher Jack Clements was run for by two different courtesy runners. In the third inning, Clements, in the seventh spot in the lineup, singled. Sam Thompson, batting fifth and playing right field, ran for Clements and scored. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Clements was hit by a pitch. Bill Hallman, hitting sixth and playing second base, ran for Clements. Hallman advanced to third on a wild pitch but was out on a fielder's choice later in the inning. Clements caught the entire games for the Phillies, who won, 16 - 6.
6/14/1897 (Chicago at Brooklyn NL) - In the bottom of the sixth, Dan Daub of Brooklyn (batting ninth), led off and was hit by a pitch. John Grim (batting eighth) ran for him and scored. Daub was well enough to continue pitching, and he singled in the seventh.
9/10/1897 (Cleveland at Washington NL) - Cleveland's Patsy Tebeau strained his side running from first to third on Chief Zimmer's double to right in the seventh inning. Nig Cuppy, who was not in the game, ran for Tebeau and scored when port McAllister hit a hard bounder to Cy Swaim. Tebeau remained in the game.
5/25/1899 (Brooklyn at St. Louis NL) - In the bottom of the ninth inning, Patsy Tebeau was hit by a pitch and injured. First baseman Jack O'Connor was sent to first to run for his teammate. O'Connor was already in the lineup. Since the game ended after that half inning, Tebeau did not return to the field.
9/23/1901 (Brooklyn at Cincinnati) - Sam Crawford tripled off of Jay Hughes in the eighth inning, but "pulled up lame" at third. According to the account in the Cincinnati Enquirer the next day, "the Brooklyns let Heinie Peitz score a run for him and then permitted the Nebraskan [Crawford, for anyone who doesn't know the whereabouts of Wahoo] to return and finish the game."
9/27/1901 (Cleveland at Philadelphia) - Ollie Pickering batted first for Cleveland with Zaza Harvey second. After Pickering was retired in the top of the fifth, Harvey was beaned by a pitch.

5/12/1902 (Chicago at Detroit) - In the bottom of the sixth inning, Doc Casey ran from 1B to 3B on Dick Harley's single to RF. Pop Dillon replaced Casey at 3B and was stranded there. Casey returned to the field in the next inning.

In the sixth, Farrell doubled, and Young once again was permitted by Cleveland to run for him, but did not advance. Boston won the game 14-3. Young was a capable runner as can be seen from his two stolen bases two days earlier while hurling a 12-3 victory over New York.
5/30/1904 (Giants at Philadelphia, game 1) - In the top of the sixth of the first game, Moose McCormick was injured running out a double so John McGraw ran for him but McCormick returned to CF in the bottom of the inning.

8/8/1905 (Dodgers at Cardinals, game 1) - In the bottom of the first inning of game one, Homer Smoot was struck on the head by a pitch. Jake Thielman ran for Smoot and scored a run. Smoot resumed his position in centerfield in the next half inning.

10/5/1905 (Philadelphia at New York NL, game 1) - In the top of the second inning of the first game of a doubleheader, pitcher John Lush was hit in the head by a Christy Mathewson pitch, knocking him out and forcing in a run. Kitty Bransfield, who had made out earlier in the inning, ran for Lush but the hurler returned to the game in the bottom half of the frame. The Phillies won the game, 4-1, but lost the second, 5-3.
4/22/1906 (Cleveland @ White Sox) - In the bottom of the third inning, Frank Hemphill was hit on the head by a pitch from Harry Eells. Since Hemphill was a little wobbly, Cleveland manager Nap Lajoie agreed to allow Rube Vinson to run for him while he recovered. Hemphill returned to the game in the next inning.
8/19/1906 (New York @ Chicago NL) - In the top of the ninth inning, Giants second baseman Billy Gilbert fell rounding 3B on Spike Shannon's single.

9/12/1906 (Senators at Athletics) - In the fourth inning, Philadelphia's pitcher Mike Cunningham was injured in a collision at first base. His left (non-pitching) shoulder, which he had previously injured in a football game, was dislocated on his RBI single to first baseman Jake Stahl as he tripped over Stahl's leg. Pitcher Hack Schumann ran the bases for Cunningham, making his major league debut. Cunningham returned to the mound and pitched a complete game.
4/30/1907 (Chicago at Cincinnati) - In the bottom of the first inning, Hans Lobert was struck on the side of the face by a pitch. Admiral Schlei, not in the game, was allowed to run for Lobert and scored on John Ganzel's triple. Lobert returned to SS in the top of the second. Schlei replaced Ganzel at 1B in the seventh inning.
7/31/1907 (Doves at Pirates, game 1) - In the top of the ninth, a pitch by Vic Willis hit Johnny Bates in the side of the head, knocking him out cold for five minutes. Frank Burke had pinch it for Cy Young in the third and was coaching at first ran for Bates. The Boston did not score in the top of the ninth. Pirates won 7-4, so there was no last half of the ninth or need for a new right fielder. Burke played in right in the second game.
8/3/1907 (Tigers at Senators) - George Mulln's pitch hit Rabbit Nill in the head in the bottom of the second. Washington did not have another infielder, so losing Nill would cause a major problem. Case Patten ran for Nill, and the Tigers let Nill go back into the field in the next inning.
9/13/1907 (Indians at Tigers, game 1) - Ty Cobb doubled in the bottom of the fourth, but hurt himself sliding into second. Hughie Jennings was allowed to run for Cobb, but was thrown out at the plate trying to score on Claude Rossman's single. Cobb resumed in the field in the top of the fifth of the game, which the Indians won 4-1.
6/1/1908 (Pirates at Cubs) - In the bottom of the third inning, Jimmy Sheckard walked and Frank Schulte doubled down the LF line. When Sheckard hurt his ankle sliding into 3B, Doc Marshall was allowed to run for Sheckard. Marshall scored on Solly Hofman's fly ball. Sheckard returned to the field in the fourth inning.
9/30/1908 (Chicago at Cincinnati) - There were two courtesy runners employed by the Cubs in this game. In the top of the first inning, Johnny Evers was beaned by Jean Dubuc. Del Howard, who was not in the lineup, ran for Evers and was stranded on the bases. Evers remained in the game after that short break. In the top of the fourth, Harry Steinfeldt singled. At that point, Pat Moran was substituted for Steinfeldt, who returned to his position in the next frame. Moran scored a run before leaving the contest.
10/4/1909 (Pittsburgh at Chicago NL) - Jimmy Archer ran for Mordecai Brown twice in this game. In the fifth, Brown singled to CF and Archer was promptly forced at 2B. The eighth inning was a little more exciting. Brown led off the inning with an infield single and Archer ran. Johnny Evers was hit by a pitch, Jimmy Sheckard sacrificed, Frank Schulte tripled two runs across (so Archer scored), Fred Luderus singled in another tally and Heinie Zimmerman reached on a dropped popup. Solly Hofman singled in another run, Joe Tinker singled in the fifth run of the frame and Pat Moran was hit by a pitch. Mordecai Brown hit for Archer (or was it for himself?) and forced Hofman at HP. Evers reached on a fielder's choice and all runners were safe on an error at 2B. Sheckard singled two more runs and the inning ended with a pop out by Schulte. The Cubs scored all their runs in this inning to beat the Pirates, 8-2. There was no reason listed for the courtesy runners and Brown was not injured.
8/29/1910 (Philadelphia at Chicago NL) - In the first inning of game two, Phillies pitcher Ad Brennan hit Jimmy Sheckard on the back of the head. After a delay, Sheckard wanted to remain in the game but was taken to the bench. Starting shortstop Heinie Zimmerman ran for Sheckard. John Kane replaced Sheckard in left field when the latter was unable to remain in the game. Although, Sheckard left the contest, this still qualifies as a courtesy runner since the pinch runner was already in the contest.
9/14/1910 (Chicago NL at Philadelphia) - In the first game of the double header in Philadelphia, Phillies SS Mickey Doolan led off the bottom of the third inning and was hit on the head by a pitch from Ed Reulbach of the Cubs. First baseman Kitty Bransfield ran for Doolan, who reentered the game in the top of the fourth.
6/8/1911 (White Sox at Hilltoppers) - Russ Ford hit Roy Corhan on the head with a pitch, and Hal Chase allowed the Sox to send in Ping Bodie to run, even though he was already in the lineup. In the bottom of the inning, Bodie returned to his station in center field, but Corhan was replaced at ss by Tannehill, who moved over from 1b. Pitcher Doc White took over at 1b.
7/9/1911 (Red Sox at Browns) - In the top of the seventh inning, Tris Speaker was hit on the head by a pitch and went to the bench. St. Louis manager Bobby Wallace allowed Les Wilson to run for Speaker but The Grey Eagle was back in center field for the bottom of the seventh inning.
10/3/1911 (Red Sox at Hilltoppers, game 1) - In the top of the second inning, Duffy Lewis was on 3b and Jack Lewis on 1b with one out. As Hugh Bradley struck out, the Lewises (no relation) pulled off a double steal. Jack Lewis was shaken up in a collision with New York shortstop Roy Hartzell at 2b and Duffy Lewis was given permission to run for him. Apparently, one Lewis is as good as another. (The inning ended without Duffy advancing any further and Jack returned to the game.)
6/15/1912 (Red Sox at White Sox) - With two out in the fourth, Red Sox catcher and eighth batter Bill Carrigan was hit over the left ear by a "fast inshoot" from Joe Benz. "The ball sounded as though it had hit a bass drum" (Boston Post). He took his base and was determined to stay in the game so they tried to get him into condition. White Sox Manager Callahan permitted fourth batter Duffy Lewis to run for Carrigan to expedite matters. The pitcher struck out, ending the inning, and Carrigan was still too dazed to play, so Forrest Cady went in behind the plate. Duffy Lewis played a complete game in left.
5/24/1913 (Cubs at Pirates) - Larry Cheney was hit on the head by a pitch and retired to the clubhouse. Lefty Leifield ran for Cheney.
6/4/1915 (White Sox at Red Sox) - Tris Speaker was hit on the head by a fast ball in the first inning and, after walking slowly to first, was replaced by Bill Rodgers.

7/12/1915 (Senators at White Sox) - (COURTESY BATTER) With one out in the third, the Senators Chick Gandil injured his knee in swinging at a pitch and had to be replaced. White Sox manager Pants Rowland allowed Rip Williams to finish Gandil's turn at bat. Williams grounded to White Sox second baseman Eddie Collins and Tom Connolly flew out to center to end the inning. Gandil returned to first base in the bottom of the inning, manager Rowland waiving the rules by allowing him to continue playing in the game.
8/9/1915 (Browns at Red Sox) - In the top of the fourth, with two outs for the Browns, Del Pratt singles and advances to third on a single by Tilly Walker. In sliding into third Pratt was spiked and Red Sox manager Bill Carrigan consented to let John Leary run for Pratt, the latter remaining in the game. The third out was made and Pratt took his place at second base in the bottom of the inning.
7/4/1916 (Reds at Cardinals) - In the first inning of game one of a double header, player/manager Buck Herzog of the Reds toppled over at first base after reaching on a single.

7/15/1916 (Browns at Red Sox) - In the bottom of the first of the second game, Jack Barry of the Red Sox was hit on the back by a pitch.

8/26/1916 (Browns at Yankees) - In the top of the fourth inning, pitcher Dave Davenport was hit on the right hand by a pitch. Babe Borton ran for Davenport, who returned for just one batter in the bottom of the frame. The Yankees beat Davenport and the Browns, 10-6.
9/1/17 (Tigers at Indians) - (COURTESY FIELDER) Tris Speaker was on 3b in the bottom of the first with Joe Evans at bat. Tris tried to steal home but Evans hit away and lined a ball into Speaker's face. Detroit manager Hughie Jennings, as a courtesy, allowed Tris to sit out in the second inning while his face was sewn up. Elmer Smith played cf in the top of the second and Speaker went back in for the third.
4/24/1921 (Browns at Indians) - In the bottom of the fifth, Joe Sewell was spiked at first base on an infield single. Jack Graney ran for him and later scored a run, but Sewell went back into the field in the top of the sixth and finished the game.
5/26/1921, Game 2 (White Sox at Tigers) - Ty Cobb became dizzy after reaching second base in the 5th inning and Bert Cole ran for him. Chicago manager Kid Gleason gave permission for this to be a courtesy runner and Cobb returned to center field the next inning. However, he was still feeling weak and left the game for good after playing just one more inning.
7/9/1921 (Cardinals at Phillies) - Specs Torporcer ran for Jack Fournier in the top of the first inning.
7/26/1921 (Phillies at Cardinals) - In the top of the fifth, Frank Bruggy singled. He had a bad ankle and the Phils' other catcher had been ejected earlier, so Frank Parkinson, the starting SS, was allowed to run for him. Parkinson was thrown out at third on a single by the next batter, Jimmy Ring. Parkinson ran for Bruggy again in the 7th after the latter led off with a single, and was left on first.
6/9/1922 (Yankees at White Sox) - In the top of the sixth, Wally Schang singled to shortstop and was hurt sliding into 1b. He was carried off the field and replaced with Al DeVormer. The next batter ended the inning. As the bottom of the inning started, Schang returned to his catching duties. In the top of the eighth, DeVormer again ran for Schang, but this time he stayed in the game behind the plate.
6/9/1922 (Philadelphia at Detroit) - Detroit pitcher, Syl Johnson, hit Jimmy Dykes on the head with a pitched ball in the second inning, which knocked Dykes unconscious. The Athletic third baseman returned to the game after Fred Heimach ran for him, with manager Cobb agreeing to the arrangement.
8/22/1922 (Indians at Yankees) - In the top of the sixth, pitcher George Uhle singled to cf. The Yankees then agreed to let Les Nunamaker run for Uhle while the latter had a shoe repaired. Nunamaker was out rounding 2b on a strange play when Joe Dugan threw poorly to 2b trying for a force on Nunamaker. Les started for 3b but retreated towards 2b and was tagged before he got back to the bag. The inning ended when Nunamaker, now coaching 3b for the Tribe, grabbed Bill Wambsganss as he rounded 3b to hold him there on a single to lf. Uhle returned to the mound in the bottom of the inning and finished the game, beating the Yanks 6-2.
6/8/1923 (Browns at Athletics) - The Browns� Pat Collins appeared in the game twice. In the second inning, he ran for Homer Ezzell with the permission of Connie Mack and Ezzell resumed his third base position in the next half inning. In the top of the ninth, Collins pinch hit for Ray Kolp and walked. Cedric Durst then ran for Collins. Therefore, Collins appeared in this game as a courtesy runner and a pinch hitter and then had a teammate pinch run for him!
6/19/1923 (Tigers at Yankees) - In the top of the 1st inning, Lu Blue singled to rf. Ty Cobb then got the consent of the Yanks to let Ray Francis run for Blue, who was still weak from being knocked unconscious by a batted ball during fielding practice before the game. Blue would start at 1b in the bottom of 1st and play the rest of the game.
8/12/1923 (Red Sox at Indians) - Cleveland 2bman Riggs Stephenson was hit in the head by a Bill Piercy fastball. Joe Connolly ran for him by permission but Stephenson would take his position in the field the next inning and finish the game.

4/27/1924 (White Sox at Tigers) - During a double steal in the top of the sixth inning, Willie Kamm of Chicago collided with Tigers shortstop Topper Rigney, who stepped in front of Kamm to catch the throw. Their heads bumped and both fell to the ground. Kamm, although dazed, crawled to the bag before second baseman Del Pratt could retrieve the ball and tag Kamm and Earl Sheely scored on the play. Kamm discovered that he had been spiked on the play so Detroit manager Ty Cobb allowed Bibb Falk to run for Kamm while he was being patched up.
5/28/1924 (Cincinnati at St. Louis NL) - In the top of the first inning of game one, Jake Daubert was struck on the head by a pitch. Ed Hock was allowed as a courtesy runner for Daubert. However, Daubert was unable to return to the field and sent to the hospital for examination. Although Hock remained in the game, at the time he entered he was a courtesy runner.
6/7/1924 (Athletics at Tigers) - Detroit's Harry Heilmann doubled in the third inning but fell as he approached second and became dizzy while standing on second base. The Athletics agreed to allow backup catcher Larry Woodall to run for Heilmann, and Woodall came around to score a run. After resting on the bench during the half-inning Heilmann took his defensive position in right field at the start of the 4th inning.
6/13/1924 (Senators at Browns) - Norm McMillan of the Browns was hit on the hand by a pitch and Pat Collins ran for him. McMillan returned to the field in the next inning to his position at second base.
6/14/1924 (Athletics at White Sox) - Frank Welch of the White Sox was hit on the wrist by a pitch and the ball caromed up and struck him on the face. Amos Strunk ran for Welch, who returned to the field. Strunk would later pinch hit in the game.

9/1/1924 (Athletics at Senators, game 2) - (COURTESY FIELDER) With one out in the Senators 2nd inning Athletics third baseman Sammy Hale ripped his uniform. Rather than delay the game while Hale's uniform was being repaired, Senators manager Bucky Harris allowed Harry Riconda to be a temporary fielder for the rest of the inning (the final two outs of the inning) and Hale was allowed to re-enter the Athletics lineup for his turn at bat in the top of the third inning.
9/7/1924 (Cubs at Cardinals, game 2) - In the second inning, Cardinals Chick Hafey was hit by a pitch. A courtesy runner replaced Hafey at first base. (We don't know the name of the runner.). Hafey returned to the game in the top of the third inning.
4/23/1925 (Reds at Cardinals) - In the bottom of the third inning, Rogers Hornsby was hit in the head by a pitch from Dolf Luque. Hornsby dropped to the ground and eventually went to first base, even though he was groggy. However, before the next play, Hornsby was replaced from the bench by Specs Toporcer by consent of the Reds manager Jack Hendricks. Hornsby returned to his position at second in the top of the fourth but had problems. He was replaced in the field by Toporcer at the start of the sixth inning and went to the hospital. The doctor reported a slight concussion. Hornsby returned to the lineup on 4/28 after missing two games.
7/21/1925 (Yankees at Tigers) - In the bottom of the 3rd, Al Wingo singled and went to 3B on a single to CF by Manush. According to NY Times, "Wingo got a brief leave of absence to put on new shoes. (Johnny) Neun ran for him and scored on Heilmann's single. Wingo was permitted to return to the game in left."
8/7/1925 (Indians at Athletics, game 1) - In the top of the first, Pat McNulty singled to the first baseman. Jack Quinn, in covering the bag on the play, stepped on McNulty's toes and by permission of Manager Connie Mack, Luke Sewell ran for McNulty while his wounds were dressed. McNulty returned to the game and Sewell did not appear in the official record. Cliff Lee pinch hit for McNulty in the eighth inning.
9/7/1925 (White Sox at Indians, game 2) - In the top of the eighth with two outs, Earl Sheely walked. Pitcher Sherry Smith unsuccessfully tried to pick off Sheely, who hurt his leg sliding into first and had to be helped from the field. Ray Schalk ran for him and Roy Elsh replaced Sheely defensively in the next half inning. In the bottom of the ninth, Schalk entered the game defensively replacing Buck Crouse at catcher. This one is not a courtesy runner in the true sense since Sheely actually left the game, but is another situation where a pinch runner does not appear in the official record.
4/17/1926 (Dodgers at Phillies) - In the bottom of the third inning, Clarence Huber was hit by a pitch and replaced by Heinie Sand, who was already in the lineup playing shortstop. In the top of the fourth, Sand returned to short and Huber went back to third base. However, Huber left the game at the start of the fifth inning and was replaced by Russ Whitestone at third.
8/4/1927 (Browns at Senators, game 1) - In the bottom of the fourth inning, Senators hurler Tom Zachary bunted with Ossie Bluege running at third base. Browns second baseman Ski Melillo attempted a play at home but his throw was late. Zachary turned his ankle rounding first and was replaced by Firpo Marberry. Zachary's ankle was taped and he returned to the mound in the fifth. He threw a complete game to beat the team he had started the season with, 5-1.
6/22/1929 (Giants at Phillies, game 1) - Mel Ott, who had hit a 2-run homer in the first inning, led off the third and was hit on the right elbow by a pitch from Les Sweetland.

7/4/1934, Game 1 (Browns at White Sox) - In the bottom of the third, Milt Bocek, who otherwise did not appear in the game, ran for Sox center fielder Mule Haas. Haas resumed his position in the top of the fourth. We do not have any information on why Haas needed to leave the game temporarily.
7/10/1934 (All-Star Game) - (COURTESY FIELDER) Frankie Frisch sprained his right foot scoring a run in the fifth inning and, in the top of the seventh, Billy Herman replaced Frisch at the top of the lineup playing second base.

7/24/1934 (Yankees at Browns) - (COURTESY FIELDER) Tony Lazzeri left the game in the bottom of the first due to something in his eye and Don Heffner took his place in the field. Lazzeri then batted in his regular turn in the top of the second and stayed in the game.

8/14/1936 (Phillies at Giants) - Phils third baseman Lou Chiozza singled in the top of third inning and got dirt in his eye. Giants manager Bill Terry allowed Philadelphia to use Stan Sperry as a courtesy runner for Chiozza. After a few pitches to the next batter (during which Chiozza was being looked at by the Philadelphia trainer), Chiozza replaced Sperry as the runner at first base and played the remainder of the game. Sperry himself pinch-hit later in the game.
8/31/1936 (White Sox at Yankees) - NY Manager Joe McCarthy allowed Dixie Walker to run for Mike Kreevich in the first inning after the latter had been spiked on the hand by Tony Lazzeri while stealing second. Walker did not score and Kreevich returned to the field after being bandaged.
8/4/1938 (Athletics at White Sox, game 1) - In the bottom of the first, Boze Berger was hit on the head by a pitch from Nels Potter.

6/18/1944 (Giants at Braves, game 1) - In the top of the 3rd inning, Giants first baseman Phil Weintraub pulled a muscle in his leg when running from first to second base on a foul ball hit by Giants shortstop Billy Jurges. Giants manager Mel Ott requested a courtesy runner be used for Weintraub. Braves manager Bob Coleman selected Giants pitcher Bill Voiselle, a very slow runner, as the courtesy runner. With Voiselle now the runner on first base, Jurges grounded into an inning-ending 4-6-3 double-play. Weintraub was unable to continue (there being virtually no time for the trainer to have worked on his charley horse). Buddy Kerr replaced Weintraub in the line-up in the bottom of the inning together with a bit of defensive re-jiggering on the Giants infield.
8/31/1944 (Tigers at Browns) - Detroit's Jimmy Outlaw was hit by a Sig Jakucki pitch in the 7th inning. Rudy York, who hit two places ahead of Outlaw in the lineup, was allowed to run for Outlaw.
9/1/1944 (Giants at Dodgers) - In the second inning, Joe Medwick of the Giants was hit on the elbow by a pitch and needed some treatment. Dodger manager Leo Durocher chose the replacement runner: 39-year-old catcher Gus Mancuso. Mancuso was touted as the only rival to teammate Ernie Lombardi as the slowest runner in the major leagues. The next batter was Lombardi, of course. The result seemed pre-determined as Lombardi grounded into a double play.
6/2/1945 (Braves at Cubs) - In the second, Carden Gillenwater was hit on the face by a pitch from Paul Derringer. Butch Nieman ran for him, scoring a run. Bill Ramsey went to CF in the next half inning and Nieman pinch hit in the tenth inning and this time remained in the game.

6/14/1949 (Indians at Red Sox) - In the top of the first inning, Joe Gordon hit a grand slam off Joe Dobson to make the score 5-0 with no outs. As usual for that time, Dobson hit the next batter, first baseman Lou Boudreau. Boudreau was replaced as a runner by Ken Keltner who was already in the lineup as the third baseman. (Keltner had just scored on the slam.) Dobson walked the next batter and left the game without retiring anyone. Keltner scored another run on a single to right by Bob Feller. In the bottom of the first, both Keltner and Boudreau take the field at their assigned spots.
7/2/1949 (Browns at Indians) - In the bottom of the ninth inning, Ray Boone was hit on the arm by a pitch from Karl Drews. Jim Hegan, already in the lineup catching, ran for Boone and scored. Since this inning was the end of the game, the players do not return to their defensive positions.
8/10/1952 (Cubs at Pirates, game 2) - (COURTESY FIELDER) In the top of the ninth of the second game of a twin bill, Pirates catcher Clyde McCullough was injured and could not continue. The Pirates two other catchers, Eddie Fitzgerald and Joe Garagiola, had already been used in the game as pinch hitters. With the approval of Cubs manager Phil Cavarretta, Fitzgerald was allowed to replace McCullough. The Cubs won the game 4-3. Under the playing rules in effect since the 1950 season, that was an illegal substitution that the umpires should not have allowed.
9/7/1977 (Brewers at Angels) - In the bottom of the 6th, Bobby Bonds was on 2nd base with one out and attempted a steal of third. Catcher Charlie Moore's throw hit Bonds in the head, sending him to the hospital. The ball ricocheted out of play, but Bonds couldn't make the trip home. Instead, substitute runner Gary Nolan (a pitcher) scored the run.
9/14/2005 (Red Sox at Blue Jays) - In the top of the 5th, Gabe Kapler was on first when Tony Graffanino hit a deep fly ball near the line in left that Kapler thought might be in play, so he started running hard. As he rounded second base, he ruptured his left Achilles tendon and sprawled on to ground. The ball went over the fence for a homer, but Graffanino wisely stopped at second base while Kapler was attended to. After many minutes, Kapler was loaded onto a cart and taken off the field. Alejandro Machado, appearing in his 4th Major League game, entered as a pinch-runner and scored his first Major League run in front of Graffanino.
