I just loved watching the highlights of this series. Game 7 and my Dads, Del Crandall, 9th inning home run were one of my Adam’s greatest memories during his playing career.
....was classmates with your sister, then. 1st grade, Miss Mc Bride. Thanks to Delette, we got to listen to a few innings of the 1957 World Series! Still remember that!!
Thank you to your dad , for his never ending dedication to baseball in the City of Milwaukee. As a great player on the Braves , a great coach with the Brewers , and then a great broadcaster for the team after coaching . Not to forget ..a great all around person to know. God bless you Del .
This was great , iam 72 and remember watching this game with my Dad and hollering all thru the game . We were both yankee and Braves fans, but happy the Braves won . I got to meet Hank Aaron 10 years ago and it was a thrill I'll never forget .
Weren't many regular season TV games in 1957. I think there was a game of the week and certainly local tv for fans lucky enough to have a team in their city. I was 7 when Hank Aaron joined the Braves and he stood out right away in the sports pages of the newspaper. Became a lifelong fan before I actually got a chance to see him play in the series. What a great life lived, on, and off the field.
@@Realistic316 When I was A kid in the 50 's we watch the game of the week on Saturday with announcers Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese .

@@michaelleroy9281 To me the Milwaukee Braves never existed. Lou Perini could have put his team through a rebuild, instead of looking an excuse to leave Boston. Two to three years of rebuilding, and the Braves would have been contending and possibly outdrawing the Red Sox in attendance.
Wow, thank you! It's my first Milwaukee sport's experience as a child. Many of us can still name The Braves entire lineup. Johnny Logan lived 3 blocks from my childhood home. Great team!
Those 1957-58 Braves teams were great teams. Mantle got hurt in game 4 when Schoendist fell pell mell on his shoulder at 2nd base in game 4. He missed game 6 and also the 1-0 Braves win in game 5. He was still hurt but played in game 7 because it was desperation time. He never was the same hitting from the left side of the plate. Always been a Mantle fan. How much better would he have been if not for all the injuries including the main one, tearing up his knee in ‘51 World Series. He essentially played on one leg for the rest of his career. Yanks got revenge in ‘58 behind Bob Turley who was magnificent.
I was 7 years old then , all I can recall is the braves and the yanks played each other two years in a row 57 and 58 the braves winning one and the yanks the other one

Please research your rantings before you accuse someone or something as being "cheap". MLB did not schedule WS games until 1971 (Balt. @ Pitt.) because TV did not have the equipment (or the demand) for night baseball with quality pictures, and the network (NBC) did not include it in their contract with MLB.

@@markpotter8831 Fair enough Mark. I'll research my rantings (and will become a minority on social media) when you take the time to thoroughly read comments, nowhere did I write MLB, before you took unbridled umbrage and spouted off with great indignation.

You can scan back and read it again.
@@bencovington1121 During the 1963 Dodgers vs Yankees World Series, Frank Howard of the Dodgers hit a ball off the center field wall at the 463 ft sign. It hit the number 4 on the sign. Dodgers swept series, Koufax struck out 15 Yanks in game 1, including Mantle 4 times.
@@oldude979 Nothing better...than reliving the Brooklyn Dodgers...beating the Evil Empire. Thanks for the history lesson. Going to see if I can find that game on TH-cam. I love TH-cam. (I believe God allowed TH-cam to be invented...just so we today, can watch and relive, old classic baseball games...😎).
Back then, pitchers were expected to pitch more than 5 or 6 innings a game. With no DH, there were strategic decisions in a ballgame that are missing now.
tom talley-Unfortunately those days are long behind us. No longer do pitchers go the distance; when they reach a certain pitch count, they are immediately yanked by the manager for a reliever. The only way a pitcher would go nine innings is if he's got a no hitter going. Scheduled doubleheaders are are a thing of the past as well because players don't want to play them anymore. Complete games have disappeared as well game winning rbis.
As nature intended before 1994 ruined it for baseball purists(sp?) like me with moronic changes that began creeping in a gradual manner that year, along with that highly unpopular player strike. 😒😒😒😒😒
I became a Yankee fan in 1957 when they lost to the Braves. I was 7 yrs old and some older kids in the neighborhood were so happy they lost. So 1958 was their greatest season to me. In the 1990s I went to some games at COUNTY STADIUM in Milwaukee. I was like a pilgrim visiting a holy place.

WOW! Can everybody count all the future Hall of Famers in this Yankees vs Braves 1957 World Series ! . Yankees -Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra. Braves-Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Hank Aaron. ETC... Thanks for upload. :)
I have this 1957 Braves team among my oldtimer teams playing Strat-o-matic. I know this team well and have seen how they played with their stats being so realiistic in Strat-o-matic. My closest Yankee team to play them is from 1961. From St. Louis
I also had the 1957 Braves with Stratomatic baseball. I also had the 1954 Giants, 1954 Indians, the 1961 Yankees, 1927 Yankees, 1936 Yankees among others. Good times. We also played half around 80 games for each team of the 1973 season. The Mets won the NL East in reality but they stunk in Stratomatic games. 1973 Braves were also fun with three forty homer sluggers.
@@stuartmcalpine9468 I do not have the 1936 Yankees but do have the 1953 Dodgers and the 1934 Cardinals among my sets like yours for what at the time I got them were oldtimer teams. The game is just so realistic. Most of my teams are from the 1960s (memories of growing up with Baseball in St. Louis) but I also have some from the 1970s and 1980s that were contenders for some of those years. The 1973 Oakland A's are the team that seems to always lose for me. I once played 162 games with the 1961 Yankees and kept home run totals. Mantle hit something like 46 homers but in the last game Maris hit number 60 and in his last at bat almost hit number 61 but missed out on a dice roll as it was not an automatic number for a home run. Of course The Yankees were only playing very good teams in my season. The 1927 Yankees and 1961 Yankees play the best for me. My best Cardinals team is 1967. The 1969 Mets play well for me as pitching dominates. I have really been playing it again during coronavirus. Good talking to you.
@@stuartmcalpine9468 I forgot also having the 1946 Cardinals and the 1950 Yankees among my oldtimer teams. The 1950 Yankees, 1954 Giants, and the 1953 Dodgers really battle it out in Strat-o-matic.
It was simply a better time. I'm 24 and I can see it plain as day. The world was like a playground back then, it seems. Like everyone was just living for the moment and doing what truly made them happy. I know there was still alot of segregation and obviously that's no good but I think there was change in the air. seeing African Americans playing on sports teams obviously the tension was starting to ease up a bit.
I agree and I'm 42. Everyone was an AMERICAN only and nothing else. During the civil rights movement of the 60s more rights were secured and that is where it should have stopped. After the 60s and entering into the millennium year of 2000 everything was great and stable but little by little the liberals continued to divide insisting that we not say merry Christmas, insisting that we first look at the race or ethnicity of the person and then call them an American, insisting that they allow more and more perversion in movies and on television screens, etc. I can go on and on but you see where it has all led us to in 2021. Nothing but hatred for America, division among American citizens, sexual perversion of children at an early age, homelessness in all the big liberal cities etc. Kids don't know whether they're a male or female. Full term abortions allowed in certain states like New York. I'm glad I'm 42 and experienced this country when it was still the America we knew and loved . It's something else now and it's only going to get worse.
@@richflores1558 Yeah, I'm glad you're 42 too. You stil have another 40yrs to learn how to think OBJECTIVELY. Blaming anything on one group of people is idiotic and narrow minded. In your mind all conservatives are great and all liberals are bad? That's crazy. Tomorrow's a great day to begin your education.
@@oldude979 and in typical democrat fashion you spew hate and supposed superiority, but wait all the racism is in the corner of the democrats history and still runs thru it today. “ if you don’t vote for me you ain’t Black”. Let go Brandon. Just one of many from sleepy. And his democrats ..
In the South, Black people couldn't vote. Don't say tension was easing up just because some Black people were playing in the majors. It took until the mid-60s for the Civil Rights and Voting Rights bills to pass. Things always look better and simpler in retrospect. If you were black, I don't think the 50s were so great.
The fourth game was the pivotal game.First Nippy Jones and the shoe polish and then the Mathews home run. Bob Grim led the American League in saves in 1957 but always came up with arm trouble in the second half of the season . Stengel should have taken this into account when deciding whom to pitch in the tenth inning.
I attended game three of that series with my dad and a sturdy Wisconsin famer named Ernie. There was a Yankees fan sitting in front of us. When they played the National Anthem, that Yankees fan refused to stand up and sing. My dad asked him why he didn't stand up. He said he wasn't going to sing about the land of the free and the home of the Braves. Ha-ha. Ernie wasn't impressed, but he stayed silent. Game three was a blowout for the Yanks. Every time the Yankees scored, that Yanks fan cheered wildly and made remarks about hick Wisconsin farmers. Finally, after the Yankees scored about their 10th run , Ernie couldn't sit still any more. With one hand he shoved that fat Yanks fan back into his seat and said, "That'll be enough out of you." That Yanks fan never said another word the rest of the game. Larrupin' Lew Burdette and his spitball and the whole Braves crew were sensational that year.
This was the first time that the Yankees faced the Braves in a World Series. Prior to 1957, they had faced (and beaten) each of the other seven NL teams at least once. (Dodgers 6-1, Giants 4-2, Cards 2-2, Cubs 2-0, Phillies 1-0, Reds 1-0, Pirates 1-0) Since then, they’ve beaten the Braves more than anyone (Braves 3-1, Dodgers 2-2, Reds 1-1, Giants 1-0, Phillies 1-0, Padres 1-0, Mets 1-0, Cards 0-1, Pirates 0-1, Diamondbacks 0-1, Marlins 0-1)
An iconic moment which remains fastened in my mind after 64 years is Nippy Jones claiming he'd been hit on the foot by a Tommy Byrne pitch (22:08). The umpire didn't buy it until Jones showed him a smear of bootblack on the ball. Today, Jones would be out of luck as the old-style leather shoes are no more. This lead to the Braves evening the series at 2. As I was angry at my Dodgers moving to California, I'd taken the Braves as my team at the start of this season.
Yes John, back then they looked like major leaguers. Athletic haircuts, stirrups over white socks, traveled wearing suits. Not like the pampered, primadona, juiced up slobs we have today.
@@geou1606 To me I feel the Braves should have stayed in Boston. All Lou Perini should have done was put his team through a rebuild, spend the money necessary to improve the farm system and obtain quality players instead of looking for an excuse to leave town. A few short years later the Braves would have been contending again, and the fans would have been coming back out to Braves Field to see them play, instead of waving the white flag because they were losing out to the Red Sox in attendance. I'm a diehard Chicago White Sox fan, and they've always played second fiddle to the Cubs, but you don't see them moving, although they threatened to leave town if they didn't get a new ballpark.
I grew up in the 1950's in New York and there were endless comparisons of three of the greatest centerfielders of all time, who just happened to be playing in front of our eyes in NY--Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider. In the second inning, Mantle turns the wrong way on Aaron's prodigious clout to center, then boots Adcock's single, allowing him second base. Despite his great speed, I would have to say that in general, in terms of fielding, Mickey was third, behind Willie and the Duke.
Neither Mantle nor Snider was a great fielder. Mays was in a class by himself defensively. Mantle was honest about his defensive limitation, and said his speed let him outrun a lot of mistakes.
@@olivercrangle7160 Ritchie Ashburn wasn't really part of the discussion. But over Ashburn's 15 year career, he had 5.4 defensive wins above replacement (dWAR). In Mays' first 15 full seasons, he had 18.7 dWAR.
@@marksieving7925 I have to disagree about Snider's defensive abilities. I was a Brooklyn kid and saw the Duke on numerous occasions make leaping catches against the short Ebbets Field centerfield wall and strong throws to keep runners from advancing.
True statement. Mantle's speed saved Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Gil Hodges hit a rocket into Death Valley at Yankee Stadium (deep left-center field), but Mantle tracked it down at the last second and made a spectacular one-handed catch. I think that a video clip of that play is on TH-cam somewhere.@@marksieving7925
R. Jay Stewart-What are you talking about? Cleveland has the longest World Series drought, having last won it all in 1948 over the same Boston Braves, a span of 72 years.
It would have been interesting to see how the series would have turned out if the Yankees never traded Billy Martin....Billy was a great player in the post season....
During the time I avidly followed baseball, up to 1965, Willie Mays was slightly better than Henry Aaron overall, except for batting average. But when I looked at baseball again in the mid-70's, I realized Hank had just glided on and on, eclipsing Willie's home run and rbi totals, and when I see how Hank performed in World Series play, he did much better than Willie offensively. I have a newfound appreciation for Aaron, especially having seen him on a Letterman collection of interviews and seeing what a beautiful good-natured soul he was.
Aaron was very fortunate. He played 22 seasons without any serious injuries and he didn’t lose two years to the armed forces like Mays did. He also spent half his career in Atlanta, a great hitters park. Aaron was a great base runner and outfielder, too. His longevity was incredible.
@@stevenyourke7901 Aaron was also very fortunate he didn't play in a major media town like NYC or L.A...he was always under the radar...it wasn't until he came up on Ruth's HR record that he had to deal with the ugly side of America...Hank was pure class and a real roll model..
34:06 what a horrible called 3rd strike on hank. great series, these old films need to be colorized and restored, even so, it's still great to watch them 65 years later. and frank torre, joe's big brother getting two big home runs. what a series by lew burdette, 3-0, 3 complete games, 2 earned runs in 27 innings. milwaukee has always been a good baseball town.
It would have been interesting to see how the series would have turned out if the Yankees never traded Billy Martin...Billy was never a favorite of GM George Weiss and Weiss finally found an excuse to rid of Billy with the night club incident in June..Billy was a fiery competitor and preformed well in past world series..
@@44032 ur totally right ...I wrote Bobby a fan letter in 1962 when I was 8 years old and he sent me back an autographed picture...Bobby was a great ball player and a perfect roll model..I have always felt that Bobby deserved a plaque in Monument Park..not to take any thing away from Billy...the Yankees have 2 nunber 8s for Berra and Dickey...why not 2 number ones??...
As the announcer said, "He throws a fastball to Aaron," I remembered... "Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster."
@@michaelleroy9281 The Yankees I think we're too strong to get embarrassed like that in the series, especially with Casey Stengel managing. Really, Casey had never lost a series in a sweep or at least 4-1. That's how dominant the 1950s Yankees were. 1959 (when the Yankees started in last place) though was just a dent.

And just as a segue, recall I wrote being in the elementary school and was writing from that age perspective. Guess that got lost in your 20-20 rear view vision of history. You can scan back and read it again.
What an amazing play by Eddie Mathews to take that extra base hit away from Moose to END the game & Series!
Lew Fonseca was everywhere.
The great Southpaw Warren Spahn had complete games 368 unbelievable ...he had 20 game seasons 12 times.
He won 20 games 13X & his 63 shutouts are the most in the live ball era (since 1921).
What a time this was. 57 Chevy's everywhere and the Braves beating the hated Yankees for the tittle. Glorius fall days in Wisconsin!
Don't forget the latest recent fad they said wouldn't last....ROCK & ROLL!
I’d never realized how much Covington contributed to this victory.
Two last original Milwaukee Braves 1957 has passed away , Hank Aaron almost one month ago and puertorican LHP Juan Pizarro yesterday night
I remember Pizarro on the White Sox from around 1964 thru 66
Not the last two. Felix Mantilla (2B) is still alive.
The old Yankee Stadium - 463 feet to center field.
Yeah. She took away so many HRs including Aaron's drive over Mantle. Should've had four.
Did anyone reach it. Ever.?
@@bencovington1121 During the 1963 Dodgers vs Yankees World Series, Frank Howard of the Dodgers hit a ball off the center field wall at the 463 ft sign. It hit the number 4 on the sign. Dodgers swept series, Koufax struck out 15 Yanks in game 1, including Mantle 4 times.
@@oldude979 Nothing better...than reliving the Brooklyn Dodgers...beating the Evil Empire. Thanks for the history lesson. Going to see if I can find that game on TH-cam. I love TH-cam. (I believe God allowed TH-cam to be invented...just so we today, can watch and relive, old classic baseball games...😎).
@@baberoot1998 These were the LA Dodgers
Back then, pitchers were expected to pitch more than 5 or 6 innings a game. With no DH, there were strategic decisions in a ballgame that are missing now.
I’m going to see the Yankees play the Twins tomorrow night (although I think they were still the Washington Senators when this took place).
Yes, the Twins didn't come into existence until 1961, when the original Senators left Washington.😊😊
The good old days, World Series was played during the day, and pitchers pitched 9 innings.
tom talley-Unfortunately those days are long behind us. No longer do pitchers go the distance; when they reach a certain pitch count, they are immediately yanked by the manager for a reliever. The only way a pitcher would go nine innings is if he's got a no hitter going. Scheduled doubleheaders are are a thing of the past as well because players don't want to play them anymore. Complete games have disappeared as well game winning rbis.
As nature intended before 1994 ruined it for baseball purists(sp?) like me with moronic changes that began creeping in a gradual manner that year, along with that highly unpopular player strike. 😒😒😒😒😒
Baseball in the 1950s and 1960s was a lot more fun to watch.
I became a Yankee fan in 1957 when they lost to the Braves. I was 7 yrs old and some older kids in the neighborhood were so happy they lost. So 1958 was their greatest season to me. In the 1990s I went to some games at COUNTY STADIUM in Milwaukee. I was like a pilgrim visiting a holy place.
did you grow up in Milwaukee?
In the last 100 years Spahn is the only pitcher to go more than 9 innings in 3 WS games.
Almost all the starting pitchers went the distance

Do you remember, will you ever forget.......
I have this 1957 Braves team among my oldtimer teams playing Strat-o-matic. I know this team well and have seen how they played with their stats being so realiistic in Strat-o-matic. My closest Yankee team to play them is from 1961. From St. Louis
I also had the 1957 Braves with Stratomatic baseball. I also had the 1954 Giants, 1954 Indians, the 1961 Yankees, 1927 Yankees, 1936 Yankees among others. Good times. We also played half around 80 games for each team of the 1973 season. The Mets won the NL East in reality but they stunk in Stratomatic games. 1973 Braves were also fun with three forty homer sluggers.
@@stuartmcalpine9468 I do not have the 1936 Yankees but do have the 1953 Dodgers and the 1934 Cardinals among my sets like yours for what at the time I got them were oldtimer teams. The game is just so realistic. Most of my teams are from the 1960s (memories of growing up with Baseball in St. Louis) but I also have some from the 1970s and 1980s that were contenders for some of those years. The 1973 Oakland A's are the team that seems to always lose for me. I once played 162 games with the 1961 Yankees and kept home run totals. Mantle hit something like 46 homers but in the last game Maris hit number 60 and in his last at bat almost hit number 61 but missed out on a dice roll as it was not an automatic number for a home run. Of course The Yankees were only playing very good teams in my season. The 1927 Yankees and 1961 Yankees play the best for me. My best Cardinals team is 1967. The 1969 Mets play well for me as pitching dominates. I have really been playing it again during coronavirus. Good talking to you.
@@stuartmcalpine9468 I forgot also having the 1946 Cardinals and the 1950 Yankees among my oldtimer teams. The 1950 Yankees, 1954 Giants, and the 1953 Dodgers really battle it out in Strat-o-matic.
@@stuartmcalpine9468 Hank Aaron Darrell Evans Davey Johnson

RIP Hank Aaron, the Hammer
Great series. Nice to see these ball players. Only saw their stats on baseball cards.
It was simply a better time. I'm 24 and I can see it plain as day. The world was like a playground back then, it seems. Like everyone was just living for the moment and doing what truly made them happy. I know there was still alot of segregation and obviously that's no good but I think there was change in the air. seeing African Americans playing on sports teams obviously the tension was starting to ease up a bit.
The 50's Happy Days ( that show was in Milwaukee ) fictionaly
I agree and I'm 42. Everyone was an AMERICAN only and nothing else. During the civil rights movement of the 60s more rights were secured and that is where it should have stopped. After the 60s and entering into the millennium year of 2000 everything was great and stable but little by little the liberals continued to divide insisting that we not say merry Christmas, insisting that we first look at the race or ethnicity of the person and then call them an American, insisting that they allow more and more perversion in movies and on television screens, etc. I can go on and on but you see where it has all led us to in 2021. Nothing but hatred for America, division among American citizens, sexual perversion of children at an early age, homelessness in all the big liberal cities etc. Kids don't know whether they're a male or female. Full term abortions allowed in certain states like New York. I'm glad I'm 42 and experienced this country when it was still the America we knew and loved . It's something else now and it's only going to get worse.
@@richflores1558 Yeah, I'm glad you're 42 too. You stil have another 40yrs to learn how to think OBJECTIVELY. Blaming anything on one group of people is idiotic and narrow minded. In your mind all conservatives are great and all liberals are bad? That's crazy. Tomorrow's a great day to begin your education.
@@oldude979 and in typical democrat fashion you spew hate and supposed superiority, but wait all the racism is in the corner of the democrats history and still runs thru it today. “ if you don’t vote for me you ain’t Black”. Let go Brandon. Just one of many from sleepy. And his democrats ..
In the South, Black people couldn't vote. Don't say tension was easing up just because some Black people were playing in the majors. It took until the mid-60s for the Civil Rights and Voting Rights bills to pass. Things always look better and simpler in retrospect. If you were black, I don't think the 50s were so great.
WOW... thank you for this!!!
22:08 Yogi Berra was the catcher in 1957 when the Nippy Jones play happened. Yogi was Gil Hodges first base coach for the Mets in 1969.
The fourth game was the pivotal game.First Nippy Jones and the shoe polish and then the Mathews home run. Bob Grim led the American League in saves in 1957 but always came up with arm trouble in the second half of the season . Stengel should have taken this into account when deciding whom to pitch in the tenth inning.
Nothing felt better then the 2021 world series. We weren't supposed to win that one. Might as well been a wild card team.
I was six months old when this series was being played.
@16.30 Gene Conley is the only professional athlete to play on a world series winning team and a NBA champion team, the Celtics
Starting next year 1958 World Series films were made in color
I attended game three of that series with my dad and a sturdy Wisconsin famer named Ernie. There was a Yankees fan sitting in front of us. When they played the National Anthem, that Yankees fan refused to stand up and sing. My dad asked him why he didn't stand up. He said he wasn't going to sing about the land of the free and the home of the Braves. Ha-ha. Ernie wasn't impressed, but he stayed silent.
Game three was a blowout for the Yanks. Every time the Yankees scored, that Yanks fan cheered wildly and made remarks about hick Wisconsin farmers. Finally, after the Yankees scored about their 10th run , Ernie couldn't sit still any more. With one hand he shoved that fat Yanks fan back into his seat and said, "That'll be enough out of you." That Yanks fan never said another word the rest of the game. Larrupin' Lew Burdette and his spitball and the whole Braves crew were sensational that year.
The Braves should have won the Pennant in 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959...
They did win the pennant 2 times 1957 and 1958 and the World Series 1957 and those other years yes
The Braves came within 3 total wins of winning the pennant in 1956 & '59.
Dodgers just had great teams, simple as that.
This was the first time that the Yankees faced the Braves in a World Series. Prior to 1957, they had faced (and beaten) each of the other seven NL teams at least once. (Dodgers 6-1, Giants 4-2, Cards 2-2, Cubs 2-0, Phillies 1-0, Reds 1-0, Pirates 1-0)
Since then, they’ve beaten the Braves more than anyone (Braves 3-1, Dodgers 2-2, Reds 1-1, Giants 1-0, Phillies 1-0, Padres 1-0, Mets 1-0, Cards 0-1, Pirates 0-1, Diamondbacks 0-1, Marlins 0-1)
That's the only time the Braves have beaten the Yankees, losing in 1958, 1996, and 1999.
Eddie Mathews would be on one more World Series 🏆 Champion 1968 Tigers then he retired
An iconic moment which remains fastened in my mind after 64 years is Nippy Jones claiming he'd been hit on the foot by a Tommy Byrne pitch (22:08). The umpire didn't buy it until Jones showed him a smear of bootblack on the ball. Today, Jones would be out of luck as the old-style leather shoes are no more. This lead to the Braves evening the series at 2. As I was angry at my Dodgers moving to California, I'd taken the Braves as my team at the start of this season.
Yes John, back then they looked like major leaguers. Athletic haircuts, stirrups over white socks, traveled wearing suits. Not like the pampered, primadona, juiced up slobs we have today.
Maybe no leather shoes, but they have replay challenges, which would probably have shown the ball hitting Jones.
The only World Series championship that the city of Milwaukee ever accomplished. 🏆
The only professional sports championship the city of Milwaukee ever won
Incorrect. The 1971 Bucks won the NBA Chip led by Kareem and Oscar Robertson.
@@AlecDavid007 and that was one great team...
@@geou1606 To me I feel the Braves should have stayed in Boston. All Lou Perini should have done was put his team through a rebuild, spend the money necessary to improve the farm system and obtain quality players instead of looking for an excuse to leave town. A few short years later the Braves would have been contending again, and the fans would have been coming back out to Braves Field to see them play, instead of waving the white flag because they were losing out to the Red Sox in attendance. I'm a diehard Chicago White Sox fan, and they've always played second fiddle to the Cubs, but you don't see them moving, although they threatened to leave town if they didn't get a new ballpark.
It's not the " real" championship, but the Brewers won the American League in 1982
I grew up in the 1950's in New York and there were endless comparisons of three of the greatest centerfielders of all time, who just happened to be playing in front of our eyes in NY--Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider. In the second inning, Mantle turns the wrong way on Aaron's prodigious clout to center, then boots Adcock's single, allowing him second base. Despite his great speed, I would have to say that in general, in terms of fielding, Mickey was third, behind Willie and the Duke.
Neither Mantle nor Snider was a great fielder. Mays was in a class by himself defensively. Mantle was honest about his defensive limitation, and said his speed let him outrun a lot of mistakes.
@@olivercrangle7160 Ritchie Ashburn wasn't really part of the discussion. But over Ashburn's 15 year career, he had 5.4 defensive wins above replacement (dWAR). In Mays' first 15 full seasons, he had 18.7 dWAR.
@@marksieving7925 I have to disagree about Snider's defensive abilities. I was a Brooklyn kid and saw the Duke on numerous occasions make leaping catches against the short Ebbets Field centerfield wall and strong throws to keep runners from advancing.
True statement. Mantle's speed saved Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Gil Hodges hit a rocket into Death Valley at Yankee Stadium (deep left-center field), but Mantle tracked it down at the last second and made a spectacular one-handed catch. I think that a video clip of that play is on TH-cam somewhere.@@marksieving7925
Milwaukee has gone 50 years without a championship. Longest of any current city.
R. Jay Stewart-What are you talking about? Cleveland has the longest World Series drought, having last won it all in 1948 over the same Boston Braves, a span of 72 years.

He sobered up for the 1958 Series
During the time I avidly followed baseball, up to 1965, Willie Mays was slightly better than Henry Aaron overall, except for batting average. But when I looked at baseball again in the mid-70's, I realized Hank had just glided on and on, eclipsing Willie's home run and rbi totals, and when I see how Hank performed in World Series play, he did much better than Willie offensively. I have a newfound appreciation for Aaron, especially having seen him on a Letterman collection of interviews and seeing what a beautiful good-natured soul he was.
Aaron was very fortunate. He played 22 seasons without any serious injuries and he didn’t lose two years to the armed forces like Mays did. He also spent half his career in Atlanta, a great hitters park. Aaron was a great base runner and outfielder, too. His longevity was incredible.
@@stevenyourke7901 Aaron was also very fortunate he didn't play in a major media town like NYC or L.A...he was always under the radar...it wasn't until he came up on Ruth's HR record that he had to deal with the ugly side of America...Hank was pure class and a real roll model..
@@stevenyourke7901 Everybody had their 'ifs' except Hank. he did it!
Yes. Playing in Yankee Stadium would've robbed him of at least fifty HRs. Look at the drive over Mantle... about 450' w/room to spare.
