1952 World Series, Game 6: Yankees @ Dodgers

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!"

I was 4 years old at the time of this World Series. I was glued to the screen on this game. At the age of 10 I had a full collection of all their baseball cards. 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

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.

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 don’t care what the norm is, I’m not wearing a suit to a damn baseball game. I’m wearing a tank top and gym shorts and chugging beers even in 1952. In fact if I ever get a time machine, that’s the first thing I’d do.

It was different in the cheap seats, believe me. Casual and beer chugging.

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.

You can clearly hear in the background the PA announcer Tex Rickards, one of the great ones in baseball history. Also the "super-imposition" effect was nothing more than the technical director moving their fade lever halfway between sources (the two camera shots).

more notes: 29:46 no ballgirls, no mugging for camera after snagging a foul ball. Just a park policeman tossing the ball back towards the dugout. Sam Jethroe of the Boston Braves was one of the first Blacks in MLB, and probably MLB's first Black switch hitter. Red and Mel tell a couple funny stories about him -- didn't get the timetag, but listen for them.

Dad took me to Ebbets when I was 7. Saw many of these players. I loved Hodges. But he sucked in most of the WS. . Fortunately we moved to LA the same year the Bums 😂

It is hard to believe that in an all New York City, Yankees - Dodgers World Series, there were empty seats. Bizarre.

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. ;-)

Lc, Hey, I worked at Anaheim Stadium too. Sold peanuts and Coke* back then. And a little beer too, 'til the boss caught me. (I wasn't 21 yet, but there was a line and nobody else seemed to mind....) (*...and that's another funny story) God Bless your mom, hope she's still with us. Ask her if she remembers Big Ed Songrath.

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!

Charlie Dresden Should have Pulled Billy Loeb at the Top of the 7th BEFORE Mantle came to Bat. He was tired as evidence by the 6th Inning and the Manager was the one at fault not the Pitcher.

Given the current state of the game it’s pretty awesome they have a bunch of the classic games on their channel. Honestly after selig retired as commissioner the game has been going downhill ever since. Obviously he had to deal with the fallout of the steroid era but can’t we all admit how exciting that era was?
