There was only one day game in 1986 in Anaheim where both Ruppert Jones and Jamie Quirk played - June 14, 1986. I can't narrow down the at-bat, but there were some doozies in there.
First inning: leads off the game with a single, then scores on Wally Joyner's home run.
Second inning: home run off Dennis Leonard.
Fifth inning: strikes out.
Seventh inning: hit by a Dennis Leonard pitch; KC manager Dick Howser ejected. Leonard was not ejected but was taken out in favor of Bud Black. I am guessing that the umpire issued a warning, thinking Leonard was throwing at Jones, and Howser argued.
By the way, I can't mention Ruppert Jones and retrosheet without noting what he did the day my wife was born - walk-off grand slam to win the game for the Yankees.
