Mickey Owen became the third NL backstop ever to make an unassisted Double Play when he accomplished the feat on August 3, 1937 while with the St. Louis Cardinals.
More infamously, Mickey is known for a single play in the 1941 World Series between the Dodgers and the Yankees. With 2 out in the 9th inning catcher Mikey Owen dropped a game-ending 3rd strike on Hugh Casey's pitch to Tommy Henrich, which would have given Brooklyn a 4-3 victory over New York (who was leading the Series 2-1). The Yankees then rallied for a 7-4 win in this 4th game of the WS and became World Champions the next day. [See Dropped Strike Photo] Inronically, that 1941 season, Owen had set the National League catcher's record of 476 consecutive errorless chances accepted while setting a Dodger season record by fielding .995. A scrapper who batted as high as second in the order, Owen was blackballed after leaving the Dodgers in 1946 to be a player-manager in the Mexican League. He returned in 1949 with the Cubs, coached, scouted, ran a baseball camp, and was still playing in oldtimers' games in his seventies.
