    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

    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.

  • Serie the Fan. Bobby « Dodgerfilms » Crosby, LA Dodgers
    Serie The Fan. Bobby « Dodgerfilms » Crosby, LA Dodgers "Bobby, where did you get the idea to film you catching homerun's balls ?" I've always loved filming things with my video camera and I thought it would be cool to try to film myself catching a home run. I first tried to do this briefly in 2003 and I filmed myself catching a couple ground rule doubles, but then in 2008 I saw a video on YouTube of a fan randomly filming himself catching a home run at a Texas Rangers game, and I thought I should really try it again because the video looked so fun. So then I started bringing the camera to every game in May of '08 and immediately I filmed many home run catches. This required training before doing so camera in hand or you are un perfect outfielder ? It's difficult, no ? I didn't do any training outside of Dodger Stadium. I brought the camera to games, which includes being able to watch batting practice shortly before the games start, and the vast majority of my filmed catches have taken place during batting practice, not the games, because it's far more rare to have the chance to catch a home run during a game, because of more competition, more fans, less room to run all around for home runs, and far less home runs hit in general with the hitters facing good pitchers as opposed to the 70 mile per hour fast balls down the middle that they see all during batting practice.
