I was one of the the Royal Rooters back on that overcast day. As I remember it, we badgered Honus Wagner to no end with our singing of "Tessie." Dineen struck out Wagner to end the game on a day where he went 1 for 4 batting 4th and playing SS. The Flying Dutchman, the NL's Batting Champion, mostly fizzled when it counted, batting .222 for the 8 games. Sebring had been in his usual RF Position batting 7th, going 1 for 3 with a Triple but of course as history shows, he didn't score. He had 4 more hits than Wagner in the Series and showed one heck of an arm on more than one occasion. I'll never forget that beautiful first World Series Championship. It was a long wait... 101 years to be exact between our first and our 6th.
Oh...Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
Tessie is the song they always sung
Tessie echoed April through October nights
After serenading Stahl, Dineen and Young
Tessie is a maiden with the sparkling eyes
Tessie is a maiden with the love
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
She's got a comment full of love
And sometimes when the game is on the line
Tessie always carried them away
Up the road from Third Base to Huntington
The boys will always sing and sway
Two! Three! Four!
Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only
The Rooters showed up at the Grounds one day
They found their seats had all been sold
McGreevy led the charge into the park
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song
Please add this information to the 8th games box score...
Wagner ss 4 0 1 0 batting 4th
Sebring rf 3 0 1 0 batting 7th
Thankyou,
