[Athletic vs. Mutual 7/13/1872] The excitement was now almost beyond control. Not a sound was heard as the ninth inning commenced, and McGeary walked up to the home plate, bat in hand. ... The excitement [with the third out] and enthusiasm which had so long been kept in subjection now broke forth in the wildest cheering, waving of handkerchief and hand-shaking. The crowd broke into the field, and seemed inclined to carry the victors in triumph to the Club House... The Athletics, the champion nine, had been Chicagoed, and that was happiness enough for one day., quoting the New York World
