1924 World Series game 7. Never anything like it before or since for drama, significance, setting, etc. Washington's Davids (first world series) against New York's Goliaths (fourth in a row) in front of President Coolidge and all of official Washington. Nats down 3-1 in the bottom of the eighth, tie it 3-3. Walter Johnson, in his 18th season, having lost a complete-game blowout two days earlier, (his second loss of the series) comes in to pitch. Johnson in trouble with runners on base in all four innings, strikes out major league RBI leader George Kelly TWICE with two runners in scoring position. In the bottom of the twelfth, rookie Earl McNeeley's grounder hits a pebble and bounds over third baseman Fred Lindstrom's head to score Muddy Ruel, and the Nats win their one and only World Series championship.
