out by half a step.
And, Mickey Mantle running from Centerfield deep into "death valley" (440+ feet in Left-Centerfield) to catch Gil Hodges tremendous drive.
After the game the New York Sports media raved about about Mickey's catch....and, Mickey simply told them.... "Awe Shucks ! Casey (Stengel) signaled to me to
shade a little over to Left Field when Gil came to bat".

Ted,
I just found Doak Ewing's Rare Sportsfilms web site. What a treasure trove! I just now officially put the 1956 World Series Game 5 "Larsen's Perfect Game" on my Christmas list. If the stars will now line up...
Many thanks, Ted!
