#28 was my grandfather's #1.
He never forgave the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn. It still angered him the like 30 years later when I knew him... I can only imagine what he thought back in the 50's when it happened.
also: 45) Merkle's Boner hehe...

Pedro throwing Zimmer to the ground was one of my top 3 most mark out moments watching baseball Me too! That was amazing. As for the Bartman thing, I don't blame him. I blame Alex Gonzalez for booting a sure double play. I emphatically agree with these two statements. Unforgivable my ass.

Okay, taking a look at this list and straight from #50 I'm questioning its validity. Some guys wore shorts one time, who cares?
Edit: Okay, read the rest and.... Yeah. Most of this is just irrelevant crap. Especially since a good deal of it is subjective as to whether it's even necessarily a bad thing, like designated hitters and the Bartman thing. Then there's including those stupid curses.

Well, as for the Merkle Boner, he did not actually finish the story. As a result of the Boner and the 1-1 tie, the Cubs and Giants were forced into a single game playoff with the trip to the Series on the line. Chicago ended up going to win the game and then the Series.
They have yet to win another.
Truth is, the Boner, much like Bartman, has gotten blown out of proportion because of the Cubs misfortune over the years. It took a tag base mistake to get them their last World Championship and their luck has sucked ever since.
