FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»June 24, 1905:
At the Polo Grounds, the Giants beat Boston, 2–1, in 12 innings, with Christy Mathewson getting the win. With two outs in the 12th, Matty hits a flyball to CF Rip Cannell, who drops the ball. Catcher Frank Bowerman, on 1B, chugs around with the winning run. Irv Young is the unfortunate loser.
