'Hack' Engle established a number of rookie records for 1909 NY Yankees including most hits
and RBI's later broken by 'Murderer's Row' Yankee, Bob Muesel. Considered an important utility fielder in his brief
major league career, Engle received the most notoriety as a member of the 1912 Boston Red Sox. Playing the New
York Giants in the deciding game of the 1912 World Series, Clyde hit a fly ball to Giant outfielder, Fred
Snodgrass. Snodgrasses' famous muff of Engle's fly ball led to the Red Sox winning that deciding game and claiming
the series title.
