Don't know how many have read "WRIGLEYVILLE: A Magical History Tour of the Chicago Cubs" by Peter Golenbock, strongly recommend esp. for a Cub fan! A lot of player perspectives on "The Boner"...often conflicting ones, but interesting nonetheless..
Agree Barry, Merkle I'm sure took the play to the grave with him. Interesting though, that Mugsy McGraw never would blame him, never thought he made a "boner"...
And sadly, his stats and career proved him to be a damn good ballplayer...
