The game was about over with the Dodgers about to tie it at 2 games a piece, and instead, they drop it, and lose the series the next day. Incredible turn. Pretty cool to learn that the pitch got away from Owen in part because it was a spitball. I had no idea. Owen certainly never mentioned this. "I couldn't believe I didn't have it in my glove." Well... dude. If you’ve ever seen the old SI video ‘Last Second Miracles’, one of the baseball ‘miracles’ they mention is the end of this very game, with an interview with Mickey Owen.
