Merkle's Boner and the 1908 Giants Cubs Classic
The Polo Grounds title duel between the Giants and Cubs in 1908 hinged on Merkle’s error. After a late ninth inning rally, the crowd roared as a force-out seemed to decide the pennant, but a baserunning gaffe led to a disputed replay and a Cubs victory in the end. Christy Mathewson and Jack Pfeister pitched in a dramatic finish watched by 25,000 fans.
