Trivia Question:
The oddest end to a World Series had to be the ending to the 1926 contest.  The Yankees and Cardinals took it to seven games.  Despite having pitched a complete game the day before, 39 year old Grover Cleveland Alexander came into the game in the seventh inning to hold the slim one run lead after starter Jesse Haines developed a blister.  Still pitching in the ninth, he got Earle Combs and Mark Koenig to both ground out to third.  That brought up the ever-dangerous Babe Ruth.  After working the count full, Alexander just missed a pitch and the Babe went down to first.

On the next pitch, Babe Ruth surprised eveyone by breaking for second base.  Bob O'Farrell, the Cardinals catcher (and NL MVP that year) threw the ball to Rogers Hornsby who put the tag on Ruth, ending the game and the series.

My question is:  who was at bat when the final out was made?  And who was on deck?

Next sim:  Next Wednesday night.
