Remembering Fred Merkle
Does anyone know what this is referencing, I said sarcastically.
While does some baseball research just now, I found this great snippet from the September 25,1911 issue of The Pittsburgh Press.
"It was three years ago last Saturday that Fred Merkle made his bone-headed play by not touching second but since then the big Giant first baseman has made the fans forget all about the incident"
Let's see some cards of this forgotten man

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
