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.
Merkle, who was digging hard for second base, swerved away (he never touched second) and started running for the Giants' locker room in center field as soon as he saw McCormick touch the plate.
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.
A week or so later, it was, and this time the Cubs won, sending themselves to the Series and consigning Merkle to permanent notoriety.
This, then, was what's known in baseball as Merkle's Boner.
