Reply to "Scoring a rain shortened Game"

In a similar vein, Al Kaline retired after 22 years in the majors with 399 career home runs. But twice in his career Kaline lost a home run when the game was rained out before the trailing team completed its 5th inning at bat. If either game had been played long enough to become official, Kaline would have had reached the 400 career HR mark.

 

This isn't exactly the same as the OP's question, since his dealt with only 1 inning. But it's interesting, nonetheless. Many players' career statistics have also been affected by mid-game rainouts causing games to be replayed.
