The inning featured an infamous Cubs moment when centerfielder Hack Wilson lost Mule Haas ' fly ball in the sun resulting in a bases-clearing, Inside-the-park Home Run , although the A's still trailed 8-7 at that point. Game 1 featured a surprise start by aging A's pitcher Howard Ehmke , whose record 13 Strikeout s stood until 1953 .
