[@bryanmelton5538]

Now this is a real baseball game

[@marksuddjian4570]

Went to game 2 of the series. Just 11 years old. Wonder how many of the crowd are still alive...

Hey awesome got to see my great uncle Johnny Hopp play in the World Series. Who would have known that was possible!

logan - - tell us more please !

[@davidahlstrom7533]

Excellent. I know the Yankee teams of the past pretty well, but I am surprised that I don't recall hearing of Johnny Hopp. I see he was a pretty fair hitter in his day (.296 lifetime batting average with very good OBP). Tell us more about your uncle sometime - he had a long career starting in the late 1930s.

This is back when sports was great

[@greglehmann7234]

Not to take anything away from the 1980 or 2008 Phillies World Series champions the greatest Philadelphia Phillies team EVER!

What's up with Andy Seminick at 20:25 not running out the bunt?

[@sandy3482]

Light hitting Jerry Coleman is the world Series MVP, every series championship for the Yanks seems to a guy you like that come up big when it counts, That is how you win 27 rings, The real heroes for the Yankees was their staring pitchers, maybe the best ever, that went 4-0 and only gave up 3 earned runs

[@deepcosmiclove]

Stengle won 5 straight WS with teams that were not demonstratibly better than the rest of the best teams in the AL. He knew how to manage and get the best out of ordinary players like Coleman.

13:40 One of the only videos of a home run at Shibe Park

[@JoshyP744]

I mean the video not the outcome of the series

Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years. My dad used to tell me about the little ball he played stickball with in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up. …A novel approach to storytelling, but I enjoyed it and flipped my copy to my dad. I think he’ll like it.
