Autographed Bobby Thomson & Ralph Branca Photo - with "Shot Heard 'Round the World" Inscription

Product Description

In 1951 the Giants finished the regular season winning 37 of their last 45 games to make up a 13-game deficit on the league leading Brooklyn Dodgers. On the final day they deadlocked for first place. The pennant would be settled by a three game play-off. The Giants and Dodgers split the first two games, and going into the bottom of the ninth in Game Three, Brooklyn held a comfortable 4-1 lead and seemed to be heading to the World Series. But the momentum shifted and those in attendance at the Polo Grounds witnessed one of the greatest moments in all sport. The Giants scored one run and placed two men on base while only using one out. Then, Bobby Thomson stepped to the plate against Ralph Branca, who had been brought in to replace a tiring Don Newcombe. Thomson launched the 0-1 pitch deep into the left field stands and the crowd erupted. Giants' fans swarmed the field to share in the victory and carried Thomson on their shoulders, while Branca slowly walked off the field in stunned silence.
