In a 1901 league, Clark Griffith is pitching and playing RF for the White Sox... at the same time.

This is an extreme case, as the league started in 1901 and is using only real players, the Sox only had 12 position players play for them in that season, and they're down to seven healthy position players right now and there aren't any available players to pick up. As a result, Griffith has been playing RF regularly. Now that it's his turn in the rotation, he's still playing RF. That shouldn't happen, regardless of how many players are out with injuries.

(Though if it were Rube Waddell doing it, I'd congratulate the game for being amazingly accurate.)
