Occasionally a single play in a big game will become the stuff of legend. That was the case in Game 7 of the 1946 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox. With the score tied at 3 and Boston reserve outfielder Leon Culberson playing centerfield in place of Dom DiMaggio Cardinals outfielder Enos Slaughter (HOF) led off the inning with a single. After two outs were recorded and Slaughter remained on first outfielder Harry Walker stepped up. With a 2-1 count St. Louis called for a hit-and-run and Slaughter took off with the pitch. Walker lined a double to center and when Slaughter reached third he ignored the third base coach ran right through a stop sign and headed home. By this time Boston shortstop Johnny Pesky already had the ball but was so taken aback by Slaughter's decision to run that he held the ball for a split second too long made a weak through home and Slaughter slid home with the eventual winning run. His "mad dash" became one of the great highlights of Cardinals history. Click this link to watch a replay of the "mad dash." This sepia-toned photo depicts Slaughter sliding home ahead of the tag. Signed by all four parties in the photo and dated by Slaughter the photo contains the blue Sharpie signatures of Slaughter (HOF) on-deck hitter Marty Marion Boston catcher Roy Partee and home plate ump Al Barlick (HOF). Each signature is bold and sharp and the photo itself (a modern reproduction) is in outstanding condition. Auction LOA from JSA.
