    Strand Releasing proudly presents BRANCA'S PITCH A film by Andrew J. Muscato iTunes Exclusive Release on September 26, 2013 DVD and On-Demand Release October 1, 2013 The Story Behind the Shot Heard 'Round the World’ Press Contact: Jenna Martin/Marcus Hu, Strand Releasing, [email protected] Please download photos at: http://extranet.strandreleasing.com/secure/login.aspx?username=PRESS&password=STRAND Synopsis: On October 3, 1951 Ralph Branca became a legendary figure in baseball history. The 26-year old Brooklyn Dodger pitcher became infamous for losing the 1951 National League Pennant to the bitter rival New York Giants, by giving up the game winning homerun termed “The Shot Heard Round the World.” Jeered by once adoring fans and labeled a scapegoat for the rest of his life, Ralph never reclaimed his career. BRANCA’S PITCH is a feature-length documentary following Ralph Branca’s journey to pen a memoir that finally tells his side of the story, to try and restore his fascinating, yet overlooked legacy in baseball’s “Golden Age” of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Enlisting the help of acclaimed and best-selling author, David Ritz, an unlikely friendship forms. Ritz with sleeve tattoos covering both arms and flamboyant outfits is on a constant journey towards the heart of matters. While Branca is a conservative stoic of a bygone era, needing help to let out decades of pain on to the page. Their poignant exchanges are both endearing and humorous as Ralph begins to trust Ritz with not only righting his legacy but also sharing a secret held for over 50 years – that the New York Giants cheated.

    Wilderness House Literary Review 7/3 Tom Sheehan Bobby Thomson Homers 3:58 PM EST 3 October 1951 Polo Grounds, NY (A letter written to author Josh Prager when he was researching his eventual book on Bobby Thomson’s homer, the one heard ‘round the world, which turned out to be The Echoing Green .. with a few updates in my text to greet the times.) Dear Josh Prager, Glad to see your request. I was in Headquarters Company, 1st Bat- talion, 31st Regiment, 7th Division, on that memorable day when Bobby Thomson hit that homer heard ‘round the world. Myself and others with me, no doubt, color it up a bit because we have seen the newsreel of it a thousand times since then. But here’s what I remember, from senior mo- ments at times that last a damn hour, as another old vet says: We were defilade, near a place called Yang-du or Mung-dung-ni on the front lines, plunked down in a narrow valley to which Chinese artillery had difficulty gaining entrance. Does the name of the place or site matter? Mortar Junction was better suited, or any of the other hundred names we gave to places we revered and thus remember, not because of the territory or the geography, but because of those we left behind. There was Salaza, on his last goddamn night staying with his buddies down in a listen- ing post bunker and a Chinese came up during the night and threw in a grenade, and him already with three brothers not yet home from some- place in World War II.
