Trivia

The Chicago Cubs, by Warren Brown, published after the Cubs' appearance in the 1945 World Series, tells this story: It's Game 6 of the 1935 Series, at Detroit, top of the ninth, the game tied, the Cubs trailing in the Series 3 games to 2. Hack leads off with a triple. Tying run on third, no outs. And the Cubs cannot bring him home. In the last of the inning, the Tigers win the game and the Series. Jump ahead 10 years. The Cubs and Tigers square off again. The first game is at Detroit. Hack is seen in the dugout, gazing out towards third base. The writer asks him what he's doing. Stan says, "I was just looking to see if I was still standing there!"
