Description: OCT OCTOBER 10th, 1924 NY GIANTS VS WASHINGTON SENATORS @ GRIFFITH STADIUM IN WASHINGTON, DC THE SENATORS BEAT THE GIANTS 4-3 CLINCHING THE WS IN 7 AND BRINGING HOME THEIR 1ST & ONLY WS TITLE IN FRANCHISE HISTORY It was one of the greatest, most climactic games in World Series history—a 12-inning battle edged out by the Senators on Muddy Ruel's championship-clinching run after not one but two bizarre "bad hops" that got past Freddie Lindstrom. The unheralded Curly Ogden was given the Game 7 start for Washington – it was his only World Series appearance. He struck out a batter and walked one, and then was pulled for George Mogridge. It was later revealed that manager Bucky Harris started righthander Ogden so that the Giants would be locked into their "righthanded" lineup, before he switched to the lefthander Mogridge.With the Senators trailing 3–1 in the eighth inning with bases loaded and two outs, Bucky Harris hit a "bad hop" ground ball to third which Freddie Lindstrom failed to catch (no error was charged). As a result, two runs scored for a 3–3 tie. In the ninth inning, Walter Johnson would step up as pitcher and pitch four scoreless innings.In the bottom of the 12th inning, Giants catcher Hank Gowdy stepped on his own discarded mask while trying to catch a Muddy Ruel foul pop-up, and dropped the ball for an error. Given a second chance in the at-bat, Ruel doubled. Johnson reached first on another error, and with Ruel on second and Johnson on first, Earl McNeeley hit a "bad hop" ground ball to Lindstrom that was almost identical to Harris' eighth inning hit. Lindstrom again failed to catch the ball as it bounced over him into left field, and Ruel scored the series-winning run.The game holds the record as the longest Game 7 (by innings) in postseason history.
