Default Merkle takes the heat, but there have been others

Posted By: Pcelli60

Hornesby was a headache for McGraw and for that matter so was Frankie Frisch. Hack Wilson was yet to show his future prowess and I dont really know why O'Doul was let go..Dispite these questionable moves the
Giants and McGraw did pretty well for themselves..
Now Gil, if you really want to point to a "gaff" or "boner" just look at the Fred Snodgrass "muff" in the 1912 Series. Or the miscommunication between Merkle and Myers on the pop foul between first and home that would have been the 2nd out of the inning. Tough luck always seemed to find Matty and McGraw in Oct.
