Finally you'll see a 1953 interview with star Yankee outfielder Gene Woodling, as he talks baseball with Marty Glickman and looks back on the 1952 World Series several months later. Game 1 at Ebbets Field : Joe Black vs Allie Reynolds - Jackie Robinson's leadoff HR in the bottom of the second scores the first run of the series. Gil McDougald's solo HR ties score at 1-1 in the third. Duke Snider's HR with Reese on base gives Brooklyn a 3-1 lead after six. Woodling PH's triple and scores Yanks second run, but Pee Wee's HR finishes the scoring. Young Joe Black's 6-hitter gives Dodgers a 4-2 win in the opener. Game 2 at Ebbets Field : Vic Raschi vs Carl Erskine - Raschi 3-hits Bums while striking out nine and Billy Martin crashes a three-run HR in the Yanks 5-run 6th, as New York evens the series. Game 3 at Yankee Stadium : Preacher Roe vs Ed Lopat - John Mize's ninth inning HR simply adds a run in a losing Yankee cause, but is an omen of big things to come. Roe's 6-hitter beats Yanks 5-3. Yogi Berra HR in 8th. Game 4 at Yankee Stadium : Allie Reynolds vs Joe Black - "Big Jawn" Mize slams his second solo HR of the series in the 4th. Meanwhile, Reynolds tosses a 4-hitter and strikes out 10 to bring the Yanks even again in the series. Berra, next up after Mize's HR, is robbed of a homer by Duke Snider, who leaps at the right center scoreboard to haul in Yogi's drive. Mickey Mantle slams a triple to the 461-foot marker in CF in the 8th and scores on a wild relay throw to 3B. Game 5 at Yankee Stadium : Carl Erskine vs Ewell Blackwell - Erskine pitches all 11 innings and no-hits the Yanks in 9 of them (not consecutive) enroute to a 6-5 Brooklyn victory. Two spectacular Dodger catches highlight this exciting game! With the Dodgers leading 1-0, Andy Pafko snags Gene Woodling's bid to tie it up in the Yankee second. Duke Snider's 5th inning HR with Erskine on base raises the score to 4-0 Dodgers. In the Yank 5th, Mize's 3-run HR (his third of the series) is the big blow in a Yankee 5-run outburst which lifts them into the lead, 5-4. With the score tied 5-5, Duke Snider's 11th inning double scores what proves to be the winning run. In the last of the 11th Carl Furillo robs Mize of a game-tying homer (it would have been his 4th of the series) with a leaping catch at the wall to save the game! Game 6 at Ebbets Field : Vic Raschi vs Billy Loes - Duke Snider's home run high over the Esquire Boot Polish sign in right field breaks up a scoreless deadlock in the Dodger 6th. Berra's 7th inning home run ties the game. With New York leading 2-1 in the 8th, Mickey Mantle smashes a drive to left centerfield which drops i... read more
