Hey, the Giants just hit a run-scoring single to win the game 2-1 against the Chicago Cubs! Alright, the Giants have won. Somebody make sure Fred Merkle realizes that he has to touch second, or he will be forced out, nullifying the run and causing the game to be declared a tie. Hey Merkle, touch second. Touch second! TOUCH SECOND!
Ah, geez, he did not touch second. I really hope this does not come back to bite us in the end-of-the-year tiebreaker with the Cubs to see who goes to the World Series.
