In the 1st game of the final day in 1904 (double header
playoff) with the Boston Pilgrims.....Chesbro not only
cost the Highlanders the Pennant with his "wild pitch",
but he committed the "cardinal sin" by not pitching a
"waste pitch" to Freddy Parent on an 0 - 2 count. So,
it was worst than you noted.
But, the worst event that followed that season was that
the NY Giants refused to play Boston in the World Series.
McGraw and Brush (of the Giants) said that Boston was not
worthy of playing and the Giants just declared themselves
the Champions.
All this because "Happy Jack" Chesbro blew the game for NY.
And, 100 years later Boston got its revenge on NY.
