Trailing the San Francisco Giants by eight runs entering the bottom of the eighth, the Chicago Cubs threw in the towel in the form of letting catcher Reese McGuire stride out to the mound and lob some eephus pitches. Few things are more exciting in sports than watching non-pitchers lob pitches that would work in slow-pitch softball to the best hitters in the world and confound them into looking quite mortal.
McGuire did the job just fine, surrendering just one run in the frame and getting the game over quickly.
