(Fox News) - What was billed as the first-ever "politically correct" baseball game was played Tuesday between the minor league Lowell Spinners and the Brooklyn Cyclones.

The first, second and third basemen were "base persons" — the shortstop became the "vertically challenged-stop" — and the batboys were "bat persons."

No errors were announced so the players' feelings would not be hurt. And the fans who participated in those between-innings contests were all given "good try" ribbons.

But in a stark break with the concept of political correctness — the teams did keep score — and the Spinners lost the game 9-to-5.
