I live about 30 minutes away from where Merkle was born is Watertown, Wisconsin. While I have never been to see it, apparently there is a small museum that someone has put together about Merkle in that town. The town has also put a little marker to commemorate Merkle as well.

Some day I really have to get over there to see it!

The color on CalvinDog's Merkle are ASTOUNDING. That has to be one of the most beautiful color backgrounds extant.

As an aside, Ive always been fascinated by that play, and the fact that the Giants still couldnt win any of the other games that last week that would have won them the pennant. Its sad in a way that a play like that has such an infamous place in baseball history, when it and of itself did not cost the Giants the pennant.

Scott,

Jeff just love it when any board member uses the word "extant." Any chance you could throw in a "penultimate", too?
