Default Bonehead Merkle

Bridwell got the single scoring Moose McCormick. Hofman in center fielded the ball and threw it to Evers. It went wild and was caught by iron man McGinnity who was coaching third. Chance and other Cubs grabbed McGinnity who being over powered, threw the ball in to the stands. Steinfeldt and Tinker went in to the stands, got the ball, Tinker threw it to Evers who stepped on second base.
Hofman was the real hero. Any other centerfielder heads straight to the dressing room with the mob on the field instead of going to get the ball.
