The Washington Senators baseball team premieres a Ladies Day in order to show women how entertaining baseball is. How did that go?

A. Win Mercer was ejected in the third inning, and a bunch of disgruntled women attacked the umpire after the game because Mercer was the most handsome player on the field. It would become known as The Ladies Day Riot.

B. A bunch of men attacked the umpire after the game, but since it happened on Ladies Day, it was called The Ladies Day Riot.

C. The press invented the Ladies Day Riot so no other teams would introduce the concept ever again because change is stupid.

D. Cincinnati 2 - Washington 1. Move on.
