How can you use “merkle” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Cubs second baseman Johnny Evers (of Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance fame) realized this, tracked down the ball (actually, people who were there say he got another ball from the dugout, since the original ball had disappeared into the crowd), grabbed an umpire, and stepped on second base, which in theory completed a force play on Merkle.
According to the rules of baseball, the game wasn't actually over until Merkle touched second base.
And if you're going to hold people to the letter of the law, that seems like the way to do it, because it'd be hard to have any sympathy for Fred Merkle if before that September game the umpires had told both teams to make sure they touched all the bases in the ninth inning.
After much discussion, the umpires called Merkle out and declared the game a tie that would have to be replayed.
As was their wont in those less orderly days, Giants fans immediately came swarming onto the field when their team won, and Merkle wanted to get a head start on the happy mob.
