Do you know the story about Merkle’s boner?
Perhaps you just did a double-take at the first successful use of the term “boner” in a legitimate article on the UWDP. Or, perhaps, you are aware that Merkle’s boner is a real thing.
You see, in 1908, New York Giants infielder Fred Merkle was standing on first base with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game against the Chicago Cubs. The next hitter, Al Bridwell, promptly drilled a single into center field that scored Moose McCormick from third base to give the Giants the game-winning run.
