Pepper Martin recalls late inning blunder with Maple Leafs in 1926
The memoir recounts Pepper Martin's minor league game in Toronto when a daring baserunner failed to score as Pepper hesitated to throw. Burt Shotton, then manager of the Chiefs, blasted him for the botched play. A week later the same scenario prompted a quicker, decisive throw and his move to third base. Gene Hermanski is noted as a follow up topic.
