Default Tommy Henrich....68 years later....show us his cards.

What can you say when a guy strikes out in the 9th inning of a World Series game, which then allows his team
to go on to win this pivotal game in the Series ? That's what you call "clutch swinging". Everyone surely knows
of Tommy's famous "3rd strike" passed ball play 68 years ago in 4th game of the 1941 World Series (Yankees vs
Dodgers).
Tommy, indeed, was one of the best clutch hitters to ever play the game. And, certainly one of the most reliable
hitters when his teammates were in scoring position that I remember seeing from 1947 to 1951.

Tommy lives in Ohio, he is 96 years old.
