Great Bobby Thomson Shot Heard Round the World Photo (Rare View, 1951)
One of the most memorable moments in American sports history is Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World". The original wire photo is 9" x 7 1/8" and in EX-NRMT condition with a staple in the left hand white border area and some small creases. Thomson hit a walk-off home run for the New York Giants off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds to win the National League pennant on October 3, 1951 at 3:58 p.m. As a result of the "shot", the Giants won the game 5-4, defeating the crosstown Brooklyn Dodgers in their pennant playoff series, two games to one in their 3 game tie breaking playoff. This particular International News photo depicts a rare view taken from the second base area looking in at the celebration occurring at home plate. It shows a dejected Dodger pitcher Ralph Branca walking off the mound head down.
