In 1924 the Washington Senators faced a Game 7 against the New York Giants in that year's World Series. Bucky Harris, Washington's 26-year old player/manager was worried about the young, but rapidly developing first-baseman Bill Terry. So he "surprised" the Giants by starting righthander Curly Ogden, prompting John McGraw to commit to their "righthanded" lineup. After getting a strikeout and issuing a walk, Ogden was pulled and replaced by the lefthanded George Mogridge. An early variant on today's popular "opener".
