The Famous Fred Merkle baseball incident (see /boxscore/09231908.shtml ). As stated on that website: "The Cubs and Giants were locked in a furious pennant battle. On September 23, 1908, the score was tied 1 - 1 with two out in the last of the ninth inning at the Polo Grounds. Runners were on first and third base when Al Bridwell singled to center. As the runner on third crossed the plate with the apparent winning run, Fred Merkle jogged towards second base then started for the clubhouse in right field - leaving the basepaths. The Cubs retrieved the ball (or a ball), tossed it to Johnny Evers who tagged second, and a force out was called ending the game in a tie." The game was eventually replayed at the end of the season, the Chicago Cubs won, sending them to the World Series, w they beat the Detroit Tigers. This is an original Sept. 24, 1908 Chicago Daily Tribune newpaper. Great for the baseball newspaper or memorabilia collector. The paper is very sensitive and t are already paper chips and will have more during transit, but how often is this newspaper available? Shipping is $8.00 USPS. CA residents add 8.25% sales tax unless you furnish resale ID. International pays $30.00. I will combine shipping on all auctions won. This will be shipped folded because believe it or not, you'd pay an arm and a leg if it was shipped differently.
