Babe Herman's Triple Play Dubious Baseball Legend
Baseball lore still recalls Babe Herman’s baserunning misadventure on August 16, 1926, in Ebbetts Field when a line drive sparked confusion on the bases. Herman’s run to third collided with Chick Fewster, while Hank DeBerry and Dazzy Vance were involved in the ensuing tag sequence. Officially, Vance stayed safe at third, Herman was ruled out for passing Fewster, and Fewster was out for being tagged after straying. The Dodgers won 4-1, with Herman driving in three more in the nightcap. Dodgers manager Wilbert Robinson quipped that the team finally connected on something all season.
