...ball game was decided in the top of the first. Cobb led it off with a sharp single to left. Bob Cunningham hit a doubleplay ball to the mound on an attempted sacrifice, but McCarty threw it into centerfield...

Then, in 1962, former Brooklyn Dodger Outfielder Sandy Amorós, who saved the 1955 World Series for the Bums with his spectacular centerfield snag off Yogi Berra, took a very mean curve from Fidel Castro.

Two-four-six-ache, who do we appreciate? Jake, Jake, Jake...
...rightfield stands. Then Al Worthington experimented with a wide, high curve; George hit that 365 ft. into the leftfield stands. Finally, in desperation, Jim Grant wound up and threw straight at Scott's knees-then turned around sadly to watch the ball sail 443 ft. into the centerfield bleachers...
