Cuban Balk Costs Cards the Pennant in 1949
The 1949 National League pennant race hinged on Adrian Zabala who balked in a key moment against the St. Louis Cardinals. Nippy Jones hit a two run homer that was nullified by the call, costing the Giants the game and the pennant to Brooklyn by one game. Jones recalls hearing balk only as he reached second base.
