1st MLB game......
Summer of 1950, my friend Chuck's dad took us to Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees vs White Sox. I still have the Yankees 1950 yearbook
from that nightgame. But let me tell you about the 2nd game I went to in September of 1951. My cousin George (avid Dodgers fan) took me to Ebbets Field to see the Giants vs the Dodgers. It was a real pitchers duel, in which the Dodgers were leading 1-0 into the top of the 9th inning. The Giants started hitting to tie the game 1-1; and, had a runner at 2nd base. The next batter hit a single to RF. Carl Furillo with his rifle arm threw the ball to Roy Campanella. When the dust cleared at homeplate, the Ump signalled OUT. A split second later, the Ump changed his call to SAFE. There was BEDLAM in BROOKLYN....the fans went wild. The Dodgers were scoreless in the bottom of the 9th....and we all went home. I was only a 12 year old kid then, but I still remember the excitement of that game in Brooklyn that night. TED Z . |
