ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

In 1912, New York Giants outfielder Fred Snodgrass drops an easy pop-up in the 10th inning of the tie breaking eighth game of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox. His error led to a two run Boston rally and cost the Giants the championship. The reason they played eight games is that game number 2 ended in a 6-6 tie when it became too dark to play.
