Homer in the Gloamin'
The Homer in the Gloamin' is one of the most famous walk-off home runs in baseball folklore, hit by Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs near the end of the 1938 Major League Baseball season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Homer In The Gloamin' )〕 The expression was a play on the popular song, "Roamin' In The Gloamin' " and was used in the lede of a story about the game written by Earl Hilligan for the Associated Press.
==The play==
The Pittsburgh Pirates had led the National League for much of the 1938 season, but when the final month of the season came, the Pirates began to falter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1938 Pittsburgh Pirates Schedule )〕 By the time they came to Chicago late in September for a three-game series, the Chicago Cubs were one and a half games behind the Pirates in the standings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1938 Chicago Cubs Schedule )〕 The Cubs won the first game on the 27th by a 2–1 score, which left the Pirates still in first place with 85 wins and 59 losses, and the Cubs trailing by half a game at 86–61.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=September 27, 1938 Pirates-Cubs box score )〕
The game of September 28, 1938, reached the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied at 5 runs apiece.〔 With darkness descending on a Wrigley Field which did not yet have artificial lighting, the umpires ruled that the ninth inning would be the last to be played.〔 At the time, suspended game rules did not provide for suspending games due to darkness. The game would have to have been replayed in its entirety the following day, prior to the scheduled third game of the series. Hartnett came to bat with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.〔 With a count of 0 balls and 2 strikes, Hartnett connected on a Mace Brown pitch, launching the ball into the darkness, before it eventually landed in the left-center field bleachers for a game-winning home run. The stadium erupted into pandemonium as players and fans stormed the field to escort Hartnett around the bases.
