Bobby Thomson
I wll never forget October 3rd 1951. My two Brooklyn Dodger buddies and I ran from school at 3 PM to my house and
turned on the TV to catch the final play-off game of the season. It was the 9th inning and my Dodger buddies were excited, as the Dodgers were leading 4-1. In the bottom of the 9th, Alvin Dark scored the 2nd RUN. Don Mueller and Whitey Lockman were on 2nd and 3rd base, respectively. Dodger Manager Dressen replaced Don Newcombe with Ralph Branca. Bobby Thomson came to bat and the rest is history....as Bobby hit "the shot heard around the world" to win the NL Pennant for the Giants. In August of 1951 the Dodgers were 13 games ahead of the Giants, so Thomson's Home Run was a very sweet ending to a very exciting season. Bobby was a real gentleman when signing at BB card shows. He'd always have a friendly conversation with everyone. GOD Bless Bobby Thomson's soul and comfort his family. TED Z
