...Dodgers squared off in baseball's bitterest rivalry. Twice in two innings, batters practically fell across the plate in attempts to tick the catcher's mitt with their bats and get to first base on interference.

Willie Mays grabs a handful of dirt and edges away from second. Yankee Pitcher Ralph Terry peers nervously at Batter Willie McCovey. A single means the ball game. Terry throws, McCovey swings. Crack! Second Baseman Bobby Richardson flings out his glove. Plunk. Joy, sorrow, delirium, despair-and cut to razor-blade commercial. For the 20th time in 27 tries, the New York Yankees...
