This one might take you guys more than a minute: On April 15, 1968, the Mets lost to Houston, at the Astrodome, 1-0 in 24 innings. Which player made the error that allowed the Astros to push that run across?

Just a guess here: Ken Boswell?

Good guess, but not Boswell!

Benjamin Grimm Nov 12 2007 07:24 AM

I looked it up. Nope, it's not Ken Boswell, although he did play the whole game and went 1 for 10.

1968, eh? I'll guess a pitcher. Ron Taylor.

Edgy DC Nov 12 2007 07:44 AM

Hard to imagine a post-war pitcher in a game long enough to go 1-10.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 12 2007 07:46 AM

Agee. Just a guess.

Wow, all incorrect so far. A rare calendar question that poses a problems for you guys. Time for a hit: An infielder.

The error-maker didn't go 1 for 10, Boswell did. Taylor relieved in the 24th inning and threw an attempted sac bunt into right field, allowing the winning run to score.

Okay, then, Ed Charles.

Yes.

seawolf17 Nov 12 2007 08:21 AM

Or perhaps Al "Bud" Weis-er?
