    I do believe the photographer "misremembered" the play in the photo. I think this is the top of the 3rd inning in Game #4 at New York and Boston's Steve Yerkes has grounded back the pitcher, Jeff Tesreau, who then forced the runner (Red Sox pitcher, Joe Wood - in a sweater) out at third. Third baseman Buck Herzog is shown having thrown to first in an unsuccessful attempt to double up the speedy Yerkes, who can be seen racing down the line. The umpire can be seen calling Wood out at third. www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NY1/NY1191210110.shtml

    Based on the box scores of the 1912 Series, I think this is a photo of Merkle stealing second in Game 4. www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1912/B10110NY11912.htm

    Fred Merkle is probably best known for an unfortunate blunder that he made as a rookie in the heat of the 1908 pennant race between the Cubs and the NY Giants. In a 1-1 game in the bottom of the ninth, with Giants runners on first (Merkle) and third, a Giant player lined a single that brought in the supposed winning run. Giants fans stormed the Polo Grounds field, and in the chaos that ensued a Cubs player stood on second base with the ball. After a hasty conference, the umpires ruled that Merkle never touched second base and was ruled out on a force play. The game ended in a tie, rather than a Giants win, and the Cubs went on to win the pennant and the 1908 World Series. The verb "to Merkle," meaning to leave something incomplete, entered the American lexicon.

    Going by the uniforms in the photo, I'd have to say that the Giants were in the field and a Red Sox runner was safe at second.

    LOC, You should probably ask the Sabr committee to take another look at this ID.

    I agree with Murphman61. In the other photos from that year's Series, the Giants have the socks with those stripes. Maybe it's Merkle *making* the tag.
