Classic!
Controversy October 1904. Ed Werder and Pedro Gomez take turns camping outside John McGraw's Manhattan flat all off season following his refusal to play those American League "bushers". After McGraw is publicly shunned by Giants ownership for sucker punching Gomez on air outside a bar, he tweets "I'm taking my talents across the bridge". He manages Brooklyn to 5 championships over the next 30 years. Christy Mathewson is elected to Hall by Old Timers committee in 1981, with a 214-195 career record.
