New York Evening World, October 16, 1912: RED SOX WIN TITLE IN 10TH
Snodgrass‘s Muff of Engle‘s Fly Causes Defeat of McGraw‘s Men After Hair-Raising Battle
The Red Sox won the world’s championship from the Giants this afternoon in an extra inning game by a score of 3 to 2. A most wretched exhibition of fielding on the part of the Giants was responsible for the defeat. Mathewson pitched superb ball and should have had a shut out, but his team mates went to pieces in the last half of the tenth.
...
The fans of Boston practically boycotted the Red Sox, and the deciding game of the world’s series in point of attendance was the most complete frost in the history of baseball. Fifteen minutes before play began there were no more than 300 spectators in the big grandstand, and 90 per cent of those were from New York.
Good job, Snodgrass. Good effort.

McCarver plays first (103 career games), B. Harper the elder catches, and B. Harper the younger slides into the outfield (either in left, or in center with McReynolds moving). Bryce may not be better than Brian, but he's already a lot better than Jim Mullin.
Whatever the arrangement, we need McCarver on the field and not in the broadcast booth.
They don't write 'em like they used to.

Heh, how true. And to think that he was quite refreshing in his first few years.
My 11 year old self surely thought the world was going to end. I read every article while delivering the local rag. The kid next door wasn't allowed to go on a camping trip in the Poconos; my dad said that was dumb, what, they all wanted to die together? My folks let me go.
A year later, when Kennedy died, the principal came to our door and talked to our teacher. Our hard-as-nails Sister Marie Collette told us that she wasn't allowed to tell us even though she was in tears. What's a kid to think? When my buddy Gary and I started walking home we saw his father in the parking lot. I suggested to Mr. Ryan that WWIII started. He laughed, caught himself and told us that Kennedy was dead. I was relieved in an odd way.
Same here.
If you haven't read the new book "Fenway 1912" yet, I highly recommend it!
Yes, but Bozeman Bulger's summary describes Snodgrass's second chance as "an easy out."
