Maris saved that game with his clutch defensive play in the ninth. Highly underrated right fielder with a strong arm.

As this and a few other videos on KZfaq successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsmans Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.

Mays was so frickin' smooth. He and Clemente were the best I ever saw.

I'm watching this historical video from the year of 1962, coincently the year I was born and turned the same 62 years old , excellent coincidences, by the way Iam a fan of the fabulous Broklyn Dodgers, today in Los Angeles.

Mel Allen the greatest announcer ever.

Roger Maris and Orlando Cepeda together in a World Series. This won’t be the last time!

The game 7 win for the W.S championship for the Yankees was 57 years ago today. I remember Richardson catching the final out for the Yankee victory as if it happened today.

I'm so grateful that this film contains footage from Game 2 ~ October 2,1962 and Game 3 ~ October 3,1962 of the 1962 Three Game National League Playoff between The San Francisco Giants & The Los Angeles Dodgers. In Game 2 Maury Wills slid home to win the second game 8~7. It was Maury Wills' 30th Birthday! Sadly, though Tommy Davis homered off Giants Juan Marichal to give the Dodgers a 3~2 lead and Maury Wills stole his 103rd and 104th bases, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost Game 3 in the 9th inning.The Dodgers went into the 9th inning leading 4~2. Instead of bringing in Don Drysdale as a reliever to nail down the pennant, Manager Alston saying he wanted Drysdale to start Game 1 of the 1962 World Series!!!, instead brought in Stan Williams and the Dodgers eventually lost 6~4. It was a heart breaking loss! Sandy Koufax was on the disabled list for a couple of months which resulted in the Giants and Dodgers ending up tied at the end of the season. Koufax pitched Game 1 of the Playoff in San Francisco but was rusty and pitched only a few innings and lost. Koufax left the game after home runs by Willie Mays and Jim Davenport gave the Giants a 3-0 lead when Sandy left the game. The Giants won Game 1 8-0. The Dodgers played in all four three game playoffs in Major League Baseball history ~ 1946 vs The St. Louis Cardinals, 1951 vs The New York Giants, 1959 vs The Milwaukee Braves & 1962 vs The San Francisco Giants.

That series was really very very evenly played between both teams. The Yankees were lucky to win that series that year

You can't beat a World Series with the the Yankees and either the Dodgers or Giants. But after 1958, it would only be a coast to coast World Series not an intracity one. Not bad at all. A lot of great pennant races in 1960s before the 2 leagues went to divisional play in 1969. 1967 AL pennant race with 4 teams in the hunt on the last weekend. 1964 NL pennant race with the Phillies choking and the Cardinals getting the pennant instead. 1966 NL with the Pirates, Dodgers, and Giants trading 1st place. 1965 NL between Dodgers and Giants. Roseboro messed with Marichal. But I am a child of the 1980s and the 1986 was the best World Series in the 80s or 1982 or 1985 or 1987. 1988 had a Hollywood ending in Game 1 of the World Series! In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.

FORD HAD HIS SCORELESS STREAK SNAPPED IN THIS SERIES, AND THEN STUNK

The voice of Mel Allen really takes me back to my childhood days listening to Yankee broadcasts on radio.

I use to go to the Polo Grounds to watch my Giants. Had to wait 56 years between W.Seris wins, 1954-2010. But it was worth it, I consider myself to be the number 1 fan of the Giants....now I saw 4 wins....no more I know for me..lol..

RIP Whitey Ford.😔😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏🙏

The year I was born and the team that I grew up with ... the Giants. Love seeing the open cyclone fencing from back then. Started going to the Stick in 1969. Great memories ......

So very close for my Giants. Finally, 48 years later....Giants win in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

RIP to my cousin, Bill Stafford and everyone else in this video.

A few years ago I replayed this World Series using Strat-O-Matic's advanced board game. (They hadn't come out with a Super Advanced version yet.) In a hard fought contest, the Giants swept the Yankees in 4 straight games. The scores were close and the Giants didn't by any means blow the Yankees out. These were two very good teams and the Giants winning in the real World Series OR in a simulation shouldn't be a surprise at all.

... I was 15 at that time, and was massively disappointed that the Giants did not win the last game.... that was so close. Had Willie's liner been a foot or two closer to second base, Richardson would not have been able to get it... the tying run would have scored from third... and who knows regarding the runner at second . . . .

I key was the most gifted player ever. If he had taken care of his body like he should have he would have set untreatable records for home runs. He hit 536 without trying to take care of himself. I guess that all adds to his legend.

I have read a book entitled “World Series” a thousand since I came across it in the school library in 1968. I just received the book as a gift from my son. It recounts every World Series from 1903-1967. The final out of the 1962 series describes Bobby Richardson “leaping high, high in the air to grab a line drive by Willie McCovey. I finally got to see the play he described and see that it was a line drive about neck high that Richardson grabbed! I guess it reads better the way Robert Smith described it in his book. None the less, every baseball junkie should go online and get a copy of this great book, you can read about baseball when it was the greatest American sport, not like the political trash that we are stuck with now.

This is the first WS I ever watched. Unfortunately we had a little black and white TV with an antenna that you always had to screw with. Thrilling finish in the last game.

My first time watching a World Series game and I became a yankee fan 60 years ago still a big fan.

Jim Davenport rules! Davvy #12 forever!

Game four was Juan Marichal's only world series appearance.He injured a finger trying to bunt.

This World Series was delayed 5 days between Games 5 and 6 because of a major rainstorm that has hit San Francisco.

15:51 This guy was Safe! He touched home plate before Yogi touched his knee with the ball.

This is also the first time you saw a big celebration on the field. Usually you see the players happy but racing into the dug out. Here they did a celebration, Dodgers did an even better one this year so I guess this is where it started.

Willie Mays had 71 at bats in 4 WS yet failed to hit one HR.Jim Mason batted once and touched them all.

Terry won 23 games and Sanford won 24.

Felipe Alou scored the winning run in the playoff while wearing #23,the same number as worn by Bobby Thomson in 1951.

Willie Mays nor Mickey Mantle hit a home run in that world series.

38:15 “Felipe Alou swings away. Boyer is relieved that he missed”.

You could say that play saved the whole world series for the Yankees.

38:03 Matty Alou should be out when he made that bunt since he stepped outside the batter box before he made contact.

This would be the last Yankees World Series championship until 1977.

Watching this in March 2020 after sports has been put on hold because of the coronavirus.

The men wore dress shirts, ties and suits, the women wore pearls, earrings and dresses with heels.

Willie McCovey was a beast.

0:29 He took a little off that pitch...like 58 feet..LOL

Does anybody know if this type of films are available somewhere like MLB TV?

39:51 -- Charlie Brown (12/22/62): Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?!

it's time for TWIB notes!

Larsen hit Skowron on purpose as a joke. They were roomies and best friends for many years.

Skowron hit by pitch by Don Larson...they were best friends and roommates when Larson was on the Yankees....ha!

Its seems wrong to see Don Larson pitching against the Yanks

Mickey couldn't hold willie's jock willie the greatest ballplayer of all time bar none!!

at the 4:00 minute mark that is leo durocher(#2) the third base coach stumbling as he is trying to wave maury wills to come to home plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relay man,not cutoff man

Narrated by Mel Allen.

Spell check sucks, Mickey somehow became I key.

My Dad use to call Tom Tresh, Tom Trash. 😆 Oh by the way, why not enjoy an icy cold Coca-Cola! (27:15), (36:22) Also, the ghost of Ernest Hemingway is in the stands (35:15), having died in July of the previous year!

29:51-29:53 SQUISH!

No

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA giants lost.
