That was the last game forfeited but the last team to DELIBERATELY forfeit a game was at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto in 1977 when the Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver pulled his team from the field due to a tarp along the wall in foul territory. He claimed that the tarp posed a danger to his players and refused to allow them to play.

Now, per Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forfeit_(baseball):
"On August 10, 1995, the Los Angeles Dodgers gave out baseballs to paying customers as they entered the Dodger Stadium gates for a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, fans interrupted the game in the seventh inning when they threw these baseballs onto the field. In the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cardinals were leading the game 2-1. The first batter, Raúl Mondesí, was called out on strikes and then ejected by home plate umpire Jim Quick for arguing, as was Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda moments later. Dodger fans, fueled by a series of close calls and a few rounds of alcohol, again threw their souvenir baseballs onto the field. The Cardinals left the field due to safety concerns and the field was cleaned up so play could resume. However, when the Cardinals returned to the field, at least one ball sailed out of the center field bleachers and the umpires immediately forfeited the game to St. Louis"
@NorthernBear: As far as I'm concerned, you're permanently banned from the Trivia thread for plagiarism. Trivia is not a scavenger hunt, where the people who pose the questions don't know the answer, and you go out and find it for them. If you want to keep playing, you'll have to get a new handle. Mud might be a good choice.
It's perfectly acceptable to paraphrase Wikipedia, if you asked the question, and if no one answers it within a couple of days. What you did is not acceptable, even once. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Correctamundo, Baltimore was the last team to "Deliberately" forfeit a game.
What brother actors played brothers on a tv show? (I can only think of one set of bro's to do this)
Yes, Jerry did play Rob Petrie's brother, forgot about this one, so there is one more set of brothers that I can think of.
Sliders, Jerry O'Connell and his brother in real life, (Charlie?), who played his brother from a different time steam.
Dean Winters and his brother, (Scott?), played brothers Ryan and Cyril O'Reilly on Oz
Andrew Terraciano and his brother Tony are detective Danny Reagan's sons Sean and Jack on Blue Bloods.
I noticed that this is NOT your thread so you do not have the right to decide who can and cannot post. I am a member of TERB and have the right to post what I want when I want.
I knew the answer to the question but just used the Wiki version to provide an exact report of the game in question.
I did NOT need Wiki's assistance for the Baltimore part as I remember the game as I am a Blue Jays junkie.
I do not see the name Mod beside your name so as far as I am concerned you can go fuck yourself if you think that you can dictate who participates in this thread.

From Shack: Jerry and Dick Van Dyke
From Bobistheowl: Sliders, Jerry O'Connell and his brother in real life, (Charlie?), who played his brother from a different time steam.
Dean Winters and his brother, (Scott?), played brothers Ryan and Cyril O'Reilly on Oz
Andrew Terraciano and his brother Tony are detective Danny Reagan's sons Sean and Jack on Blue Bloods.
So there is at least one more answer to go, hint: The set of Bro's I was thinking of is from a classic sitcom
