Warren Gill

Warren Gill

Warren Darst Gill (December 21, 1878 in Ladoga, Indiana - November 26, 1952 in Laguna Beach, California), was a professional baseball player who played first base in the Major Leagues in 1908. He would play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Gill is best known for not touching second base in a game against the Chicago Cubs on September 4, 1908. With the game tied at 0 in the bottom of the 10th, Chief Wilson stroked a two out single that scored the winning run. However, Johnny Evers saw that Gill didn't touch second base. Umpire Hank O'Day, the only umpire working the game that day, said he didn't see it and called the game over with a Pirates victory. This type of play would come up again a few weeks later that is better known as Merkle's Boner.
