Before Game 7 of the 1925 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Washington Senators the infield was unplayable due to rain. Officials took the drastic measure of dousing the infield with gasoline and setting it on fire to dry the field.
Flames scorched the infield, clouds of smoke rose into the stands, and the field was left scorched but technically playable. The decision was not only risky but wildly dangerous, especially by today’s standards. Still, the game went on.
The Pirates ultimately came from behind to win the game 9–7 and take the championship, but the fiery infield remains one of the most bizarre moments in World Series history, a moment when officials quite literally played with fire to keep baseball going.

I'm surprised they got away with this even in 1972
