This installment of Where Have You Gone looks at Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World”. It put the New York Giants into the 1951 World Series against Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and the New York Yankees.
Ever since October 3, 1951, the date and Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” have been linked. Since then, Thomson’s name has been chiseled into the story of baseball.
Thomson’s home run was the high mark of an exceptional career. Mickey Mantle had many highlights in one of baseball’s greatest careers. On October 4, 1951, at Yankee Stadium when the World Series began, Mantle (at bat) and Thomson (at third base) were only feet apart.
We’re decades away from 1951, but we’re striving to get closer to it, this season on Where Have You Gone? There are also stories about The Caine Mutiny, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, Herman Wouk, and Paul Gregory.
