Bonehead Merkle
 

Posted By: <b>Darren J. Duet</b><p>Would like some input on the players involved in the bonehead play by Fred Merkle in 1908. I know Evers made the put out, but am interested in the pitcher and fielder involved.<br /><br />I'm putting together bits of my collection to reflect some of the great moments/players of the game to be displayed at our local university library--It's fun.<br /><br />The list so far---<br />Tinker to Evers to Chance<br />Wagner vs. Cobb 1909 World Series<br />Murderer's Row<br />Ruth as a Red Sox--The Curse<br />Connor/Williamson/Ruth<br />Cravath/Schulte/Doyle/Daubert<br />Black Sox(including Abe Attell)<br />Chapman/Mays A baseball death<br />The Pitchers Johnson/Young/Mathewson/Alexander<br />The Coaches Mack/McGraw/Jennings/Huggins<br />Walsh/Chesbro/Waddell/Plank<br />Speaker & Lajoie<br /><br />Any ideas for other groupings are appreciated.<br />

It went wild and was caught by iron man McGinnity who was coaching third. Chance and other Cubs grabbed McGinnity who being over powered, threw the ball in to the stands. Steinfeldt and Tinker went in to the stands, got the ball, Tinker threw it to Evers who stepped on second base.<br />Hofman was the real hero. Any other centerfielder heads straight to the dressing room with the mob on the field instead of going to get the ball.
