Both were great pitchers, but sadly Matty is remembered as losing the two crucial games in his life, the "makeup game" against the Cubs which decided the pennant on the last day in 1908 and the infamous "Snodgrass' Muff game" which decided a World Series. Pete is most remembered for striking out Tony Lazerri of the Yanks with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning and winning a World Series. Old Pete was hung over from a drinking bout the night before, celebrating after winning Game 6 with a stellar performance and never gave a thought to pitching the next day. One Yankee fan of the day said it best when he said he still remembered that dusty, drunk old man slowly wandering in from the bullpen still wearing his jacket and snatching away victory from the jaws of defeat, pitching on nothing but guts and guile to face one batter and achieve glory.
