Merkle played another 18 years in the Majors after 1908, so I don't think that play really influenced his career. They need to bring the spit ball back and the dead ball to combat all the roids in baseball.
Funny how the word "boner" evolved in the last 100 years. No tv, no radio, no viagra commercials, and gay meant happy. And on the site of the old Polo Grounds is low income housing in Harlem.
Merkle's so-called 'boner' did not...REPEAT..DID NOT... cost the Giants the pennant. how bout Coveleski of the Phillies beating the Giants 3 TIMES in the last week!! THE GIANT KILLER indeed
tremendous video! Great job explaining the Merkle incident. Thank you. I have several BB cards of Merkle and team players from both Cubs/Giants, history comes alive looking at the cards!

Stealing the World Series away fron the Giants in 1908 is the real reason why the Cubs are cursed.
