Fortunately for the Washington Senators, Saccramento dealt George Earl McNeely to the Senators in August 1924, because it was McNeely's bad-hop ground-ball base hit that bounced over Freddie Lindstrom's head, driving in Muddy Ruel with the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning of the 7th game of the 1924 World Series, making WaJo the winning pitcher of Washington's only World Series Championship!
It seems strange to me that McNeely's name is spelled correctly on his 1922 & 1924 Zeenuts cards, but incorrectly on his 1923 Zeenuts card. Thanks again to Mark M. for these 3 McNeely Zeenuts.
