Right after he made the infamous "muff" Snodgrass made a tremendous running catch to temporarily save the game which everyone forgets. Snodgrass was always bitter, even in his last years on earth, that people didn't remember that catch.
The thing about Holliday's muff was, as pointed out, that there were still 2 outs and the Cards up 1 run. This is reminiscent of the fact that even though Buckner made an error in Game 6 there was still a game 7 to play (and the Sox actually led in that game). I bet 95% of the people who even know who Bill Buckner is think the boot occurred in the fnal game of the Series.
