(First row, sixth from left)


Good pitching will always beat good hitting and vice versa.

How about the only known single signed baseball of the umpire who was working the bases that day, Bob Emslie.

David, Love that T206 potrait. Is that the famous police line up portrait?

People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

Worth noting that 1908 was also the last time the Cubs won the Series -- perhaps the Merkle incident is actually the curse that has hung over the Cubbies for 98 years (and counting).

Also, I think some of the "credit" for the Merkle incident must go to the heady play of Johnny Evers who convinced home plate ump Hank O'Day (another guy who "slept with the rule book") to call poor Merkle out at second after the Giants had seemingly won the contest.
