...sometimes the camera almost stole the catchers' signals. In the third game, 17 hits squirted about the landscape while the Yankees belittled the Braves, 12-3. The ten innings of the fourth game were a drill in aerial photography as four crucial home runs traveled the fences-Hank Aaron's three-runner and Frank Torre's in the fourth; Yankee Elston Howard's two-out, full-count game-tying hit in the ninth, and Eddie Mathews' great big fat one in the tenth.
