The Mad Dash

Quote: "In the decisive seventh game of that [1946] series, Slaughter, running with the pitch, made a famous "Mad Dash" for home from first base on Harry Walker's single in the eighth inning, scoring the winning run after a delayed relay throw by the Red Sox' Johnny Pesky."

This is a common mistake. Walker was credited with a double on that play. The mistake is in Walker's article as well. Pesky's article and the one on the '46 series have it correct.WHPratt (talk) 17:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
