Whittington 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT John McGraw’s New York Giants were the premier team of the Deadball Era, which stretched from 1900-1919. Led by McGraw and his ace pitcher, Christy Mathewson, the Giants epitomized the Deadball Era with their strong pitching and hard-nosed style of play. In 1919 however, The New York Times and The Sporting News chronicled a surge in the number of home runs that would continue through the 1920s until the entire sport embraced a new era of baseball.

  • General Admission
    General Admission Triple Play the Hard Way by S. Derby Gisclair and Arthur O. Schott Member, Society for American Baseball Research A triple play is one of baseball’s more unusual occurrences. During a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs on September 4, 1927 at Wrigley Field, one of the more sensational triple plays on record occurred. After all was said and done, it involved five players and took seven steps to complete. In the bottom of the seventh inning the Cubs came to bat. Stephenson singled to lead off the inning. Cubs’ centerfielder Hack Wilson then doubled into the overflow crowd. With runners on second and third and no outs, Charlie Grimm then grounded to Cardinals’ second baseman Frankie Frisch who threw to Jim Bottomley at first base for the first out (4 – 3). However, from this ordinary beginning the ensuing play unfolded. Wilson, it seems, paused between second and third to watch the play and was cut off when Bottomley threw to Cardinals’ shortstop Rabbit Maranville. The third base runner, Stephenson, broke for home on the throw to Maranville, but was chased back to third base when Maranville relayed Jim Bottomley the throw to Cardinals’ catcher O’Farrell. Wilson was still standing between second and third when Stephenson reached third base safely, but O’Farrell threw to Frisch who ran down Wilson for the second out (6 – 2 – 4). Frankie Frisch Stephenson again broke for home when Frisch was chasing Wilson. Frisch threw to first baseman Bottomley who was covering the plate and the Cardinals now had Stephenson in a run-down.
