New York Yankees 4 at Brooklyn Dodgers 2, F -- Gene Woodling and Mickey Mantle homered, and Billy Martin made a game-saving grab of an infield popup gone awry, as the Yankees recovered from a three game to two deficit to win their fourth of five straight World Series, in seven games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mantle's homer in the sixth gave the Yankees the lead for good, and an insurance run in the seventh made it 4-2. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the inning, Jackie Robinson hit a high pop up that Yankees first baseman Joe Collins appeared to lose it in the sun. But Martin charged in from second base to snatch the ball at his shoe tops to end the inning and snuff out the Dodgers' last threat as the Yankees secured the championship.

    i watched this game on the radio. i could see ever pitch, every catch and every hit the announcers made the game so clear in my mind. Now i am seeing on YouTube at the age of 85..

    Do people realize how precious this footage is? There's no other full game video of any WS game on YT until 1965. Amazing.
  • This where it all started for me as a Dodger fan. I’m 80 years old now and watching this is very emotional. Baseball has given me 70 years of joy and disappointment. Love the game.
  • @tedmaire1599
    Watching this in 2023, more than 70 years after the game was played, and there are still two players from the Dodgers, Carl Erskine and Bobby Morgan who are still with us, both at 96 years old.

    I just clicked on this to watch a few seconds. Ended up watching the whole damn game.

    Who would of thought in 1952 that in 2020 that you watch this on your phone and Chromecast it to your big screen TV.

    This is one of the thousands of reasons why baseball means so much to so many of us. I am sitting here almost 42 years old in San Diego watching a game in black and white. Baseball reminds me of my dad throwing and playing catch with me after a long 8-10 hour workday. My mother who could tell it was Tony Gwynn talking just by the sound of his voice and crackle of his laugh of his. The smell and sounds of the game played still brings a smile to my face and goosebumps to my skin. Man oh man that’s why I love sports so much, you can forget about the struggles and sadness of the world for two hours or more a day. I still pretend that my pops is sitting next to me when I go watch a padres game at petco park. I was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder for the first time this year, and can proudly say I will be god willing til I pass away and go watch them play at the field of dreams in the sky.

    Carl Erskine, who was a pitcher for the Dodgers back then is still alive as of 12/26/23 at 97 years old.. Amazing!
  • @jayritchie851
    No batting gloves. Dead 50's era balls that weren't juiced. Hot, baggy, flannel uniforms. No batting helmets. Fielders glovex that were more mitts than gloves. No finely manicured turf. No pitch counts or relievers coming in and getting one out. Yet, these guys played the game in grand, Hall of Fame fashion. Baseball at it's purest
  • @Dobie_ByTor
    So I’m watching this and the first close play...my brain’s like “where’s the replay?” LOL.
  • @sokramdad
    I was five years old. While my dad watched the game I asked him, "Who does Mickey Mantle play for?" He said, "The Yankees." "That's my team," I replied. Seventy-one years later they still are.
  • Watching my uncle hit a home run all over again brought back many baseball memories of my family when I was young! Now I have a grandson whom is a talented person and could end up in the majors!!
  • Jeez. Mantle, Berra, Jackie, Johnny Mize, the Scooter, Billy Martin, The Duke, Hodges, Red Barber and Mel Allen all in glorious black and white. I cannot get the smile off of my face.
  • @vcoaster
    My father was at this game. I still have his ticket stub. He was 27 years old at the time and a lifelong Yankees fan. His first cousin was Yankees pitcher Kemp Wicker (and I don't care if you believe it or not).

    Born in Brooklyn in 1942, I will never forget the excitement of the 1950s when the center of the world insofar as baseball was concerned, was New York City!
  • Its so crazy how much the world has changed. I feel like everything back then was so simple and authentic. Like just the way the announcer is talking. Its so proper and so professional. No slang no trying to advertise or make money off anybody. The way the umpires are dressed. The way the players have no jewelry and anything extra on. I was born in '91 and I feel like the world was so much better back then. No cellphones no useless brainwashing technology. Just some good ole' baseball!

  • @tonycortina4624
    WOW. This was pure Baseball. I think I’ll just watch the old time players from now on. It’s 2021 and I’m living in the 50’s. This part of technology I love. Thanks very much
