Correct Answer
D. D. Merkle failed to touch second on a game winning hit & was forced out later after the celebration.Explanation
Johnny Evers of Tinkers to Evers to Chance fame grabbed a ball (but possibly not THE ball), got the umpires attention as the fans swarmed the Polo Grounds... Evers convinced the umpire Merkle had not touched second base (true), a common practice by players at the time.... The umpire ruled the force out remained & the run was taken off the board, along with a Giant's win ~ because the field was covered with celebrating fans... The game, the NL ruled would only be made up in case of a tie, which of course happened ~ and the Cubs of course won. Ensuring Merkle 'bonehead' status.Rate this question:
