I can see how 'Merkle's Boner' could confuse some people..

It's too bad for Fred.. as I understand it, it was VERY COMMON for the players to rush to the clubhouse after such plays and the RULE was never enforced... McGraw stuck up for Merkle saying it was NOT his fault to no avail as Merkle wore the Albatross for the rest of his career.
