  • New York Yankees 3 at Brooklyn Dodgers 2, F -- A classic "Subway Series," old-school style. Leading the Series 3-2, Brooklyn rookie Billy Loes battled Yankee veteran Vic Raschi zero for zero for five complete innings. Duke Snider and Yogi Berra exchanged solo shots in the sixth, and young slugger Mickey Mantle's first career World Series home run extended the lead to 3-1. Snider's second HR of the game drew the Dodgers within a run, but Yankees ace Allie Reynolds relieved Raschi and finished off the 3-2 win to send the Series to a seventh game. The Yankees would win that game the following day, leaving the Dodger faithful to, once again, "Wait 'til next year!"

    This was baseball before TV money destroyed the game. Its a pleasure to just listen to the sounds from the crowd. Individual fans can be heard, along with the calls of peanut and hotdog vendors. I even think the lack of instant replay is a virtue. Too often instant replay is done to death and used by announcers to show how smart they are. This calm and methodical sport is the game I loved as a kid.

I got to see #42 in action and got to watch my art teacher draw and watercolor a beautiful painting of Mickey Mantle at the plate hitting a home run.

      Interestingly the average 9 inning game in 1952 took 2 hours and 21 minutes. Just 10 years earlier in 1942 it took 2 hours and 2 minutes. This was about the time that games started to become more drawn out and the idea that an umpire should dictate the pace of the game was largely lost. Though way more entertaining than today

    UPDATE: Irv Noren passed away on 11/15/2019, two weeks shy of his 95th birthday. As of August 2023, Carl Erskine is the last surviving participant from the 1952 World Series, though he did not pitch in this game. Sandy Koufax and Art Schallock were members of the Dodgers and Yankees that year and are also alive, but did not pitch in the series.

    I am rather enjoying the fact the announcers are simply calling the game, and there isn't any excess talking about nonsensical topics unrelated to the game, and the absence of all these different boxes with scores and a million other stats. The fact that every single pitch is not replayed over and over again is nice too, unlike what seems to be the norm today.

    I think, probably, about at 1:19:10, the one who is sitting on the extreme right of the Yankee bench, is batboy Joe Carrieri. His book 'Yankee Batboy(published in1955)' was popular.He was 17 at that year and he worked as Yankee mascot since 1951 season.

    11:14 Mantle jogs down to first after a walk. He holds his elbows out like Walter Brennan... looks like the knees bothering him a little even then.
    7:03 Mel Allen introduced Gil McDougald as "the fellow with the unorthodox batting stance." Open stance with bat held back and level. Looks like something Charlie Lau would have cooked up, but he came later.

      I wonder if the original audio at that portion was lost, hence why Bob Costas was brought in to fill in the gaps and and some context. Bare in mind that this (along with Game 7 of this particular series) is believed to be the oldest surviving telecast of a World Series game (even though World Series games have been televised since 1947). They were preserved on kinescope by sponsor Gillette. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Series_broadcasters

    1:42:30 A lucky fan swoops up a foul ball, what a special little moment. I can't help but wonder if by chance that exact ball is still out there in the world today, maybe it's buried inside a old dusty box in someones attic or maybe it's being well cared for on a collectors shelf. Could have just been thrown in the garbage by someone who didn't know the backstory. I mean it is a world series base ball, I'm sure whoever it was is/will remember that moment forever.

    I was born in '60 & I've been an Angels fan since '67 (my Mom worked at the stadium). I remember learning the game of baseball by listening to Don Wells & Buddy Blatner on the radio. I didn't at first understand the fanfare surrounding Mantle when he visited the Big A in his last couple years.
    But in this Game 6 video, I was still surprised that the Yankees (down 1) did NOT pinch hit for their pitcher in the top of the 7th. The Dodgers then were down 1 in the bottom of the frame & ALSO did not hit for their starting pitcher. Seemed strange.
    But the irony is that BOTH pitchers got on board w/ singles. ;-)

      At 13 I saw my 1st game in '67 when Mantle, (my hero since 9) HOMERED under the Big 'A' with no bleachers there. We had great seats on the 3rd base side, so seeing the HR and him rounding the bases is for me like yesterday. Best thing I ever saw!
