Scapegoats
"Here are nine baseball players whose careers have been defined and misrepresented by one moment in which they botched a play, costing their teams an important victory (often a pennant or World Series win). Among them are Fred Merkle, whose controversial failure to tag second base after a game-winning single lost the pennant for the Giants in 1908; Fred Snodgrass, whose dropped fly ball helped the Red Sox win the 1912 World Series; Ralph Branca, who delivered one of the most talked about home runs in history to Bobby Thomson in the 1951 National League Championship series; and Bill Buckner, whose E-3 caused him to be blamed for the Red Sox's World Series loss in 1986.
