The Baseball Chronicles: Merkle's Boner

Late in the 1908 season, the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs were in a tight pennant race. 19-year old Fred Merkle singled in the bottom of the ninth for the Giants, moving the game-winning run to third base with two outs. What ensued went down in history as one of the most famous boners baseball would ever see.

BUM Productions offers its typically unique perspective on the events of the day and the ramifications it had on Fred Merkle's life.
