And the most expensive muff is part
OF baseball history. The particular
teams knowing most about it are the
Boston Red Sox and New York Giants
of eight years ago. The player VINO
knows most about it is Fred Snodgrass.
The muf was put on exhibition be =
fore some 1900 enthusiasts at Boston
on October 1G. 1912. 1t meant victory
in world series classic for the Red
Sox and defeat for the Giants.
It required eight games to decide
that world series Of 1912. the second
game of the series resulting in a tie.
The Red Sox jumped off to lead of
three games to one. but the Giants
staged one of the greatest rallies in
history and evened the count at three
each.
Then came the final battle of the
series. New York was baseball crazy
over the rally of the Giants. but the
Red Sox had played irf sort Of daze
and Boston was down on it's athletes.
If either one of two. things did not
happen the Giants would have copped
that game and the big slice of the dough.
1t was in the tenth inning. The Giants
