 In the decisive seventh game of that series, Slaughter, running with the pitch, made a famous "Mad Dash" for home from first base on Harry Walker's hit in the eighth inning, scoring the winning run after a delayed relay throw by the Red Sox' Johnny Pesky.The hit was ruled a double, though most observers felt it should have been ruled a single, as only the throw home allowed Walker to advance to second base.This play was named #10 on the Sporting News list of Baseball's 25 Greatest Moments in 1999.
