No idea about the facts, but I bet the reason Emmanuel Clase engaged in illegal baseball activities was that he needed to be able to tell himself that he was so great a pitcher that he could be successful in his job even after conceding the first pitch to the batter on occasion.

That was the highest-scoring World Series inning in the lifetime of a great many people watching.
Also the only time anyone has put up a 9-spot.
