Hack Wilson

And then a couple classic... instances, probably classic, because they happened in the fall classic in the World Series, and anything that happens there is always magnified.

Hack Wilson in the 1929 series, Norm Seaborn at Yankee Stadium in 58.

Here's the one-two pitch, and Incavelia fouls it at the plate.

Seaborn, who, against the Milwaukee Braves, had two or three balls that were hit out there that he was unable to catch.

I think he was charged with a couple of errors.

One ball was scored a base hit.

And, of course, Hack Wilson in the 29 World Series, one-two pitch, breaking ball low inside, two balls, two strikes.

And the Cubs in the athletics, and the Cubs were leading 8-0 going to the seventh inning.

He has the only base hit off Ferguson Jenkins, single through the middle.

1929 was the year that Hack Wilson had one of his great years.

First pitch to Bud Harrelson, a fastball over, strike one.

Bud batting 241.

Jerry Buczak again up with the ball, and his second assist gives the Mets their second out.

And now the batter will be Ernie Banks.

Santo broke a record held by Hack Wilson [crowd cheering] of 27 consecutive games in which he had at least a base hit.

That was set back in 1929.

None of them have come close to a major league record set by a club either, have they? 190?

Hack Wilson, back in the 30s, played here for the Cubs, had that remarkable year where he drove in 190.

In

fact, this is an anniversary date of one of Hack Wilson's famous home runs.

First play every home run off the Wrigley Field scoreboard.

Center field.

Of course, you hear all the stories about outfielders having problems, and, and then a couple of classic instances, probably classic because they happened in the Fall Classic, in the World Series, and anything that happens there is always magnified.

Uh, Hack Wilson in the 1929 Series, Norm Siebern at Yankee Stadium in '58.

Here's the one-two pitch, and Incaviglia fouls it at the plate.

Siebern, who, against the, uh, Milwaukee Braves, had two or three balls that were hit out there that, and that he was unable to catch.

I think he was charged with a couple of errors.

One of, one ball was scored a base hit.

And of course, Hack Wilson in the '29 World Series.

One-two pitch, breaking ball low inside.

Giants now four in front.

Another hot home run hitter, Ryne Sandberg of the Cubs yesterday made it six home runs the last five games, and with home runs in five straight games, he equaled a Cubs record set by Hack Wilson sixty-one years ago.

The most intriguing play of the night in San Diego: watch the runner at second, Marvel Winn of the Padres.

Brave second baseman Jeff Treadway successfully pulls off the hidden ball trick.

None of them have come close to the Major League record set by a club either, have they? 190
