In October of 1951, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants faced off in a three-game playoff to decide the National League (NL) pennant. In the ninth inning of the decisive Game 3, with the Giants down 4-2, Bobby Thomson was up to bat. Thomson was able to hit a three-run homerun, which won the game, series, and pennant for the Giants. It was also the first ever nationally televised game in baseball history. What a time to get the cameras rolling.
