Sleeping on the Job

Hall of Fame outfielder Edd Roush enjoyed a great 18-year career, 12 of them spent with the Cincinnati Reds, hitting .323 for his career. However, on one day in 1920, Roush committed the ultimate error—sleeping on the job.

Roush was ejected from a game in June 1920, when during a break in the game during which a play was being argued about, Roush took a seat in the outfield and promptly fell asleep.

When teammates were unable to wake him up, umpires ejected Roush for delay of game.
