Re: Anniversary of "Merkle Boner"
Back in July I had the chance to go to Chicago.
About a block away from Wrigley Field is a bar and
grill in Fred Merkle's "honor." Here's a couple of photos.
(Who knows, maybe there's a Bartman bar and grill
somewhere in Florida!!??)
Additionally, in my book about the Philadelphia Caramel
Company, I make reference to the baseball season of
1908 and the "Merkle Boner" play. The E95 set also
commerates two other players involved in that play.
