On this day in 1951, third baseman
Bobby Thomson hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the National League pennant for the
New York Giants. It was referred to as "the shot heard round the world." Thomson's homer wrapped up an amazing come-from-behind run for the Giants and knocked the
Brooklyn Dodgers out of their spot in the World Series. The Giants went on to lose the Series to the
Yankees, but Thomson's miraculous homer remains one of the most memorable moments in baseball history. Today we have the song
Let's Hear A Cheer by
THE HI-FIVES Happy Friday!
