We tell the story of Bobby Thomson's game-winning three-run home run on October 3, 1951. You hear how his swing gave the New York Giants the pennant and became known as the "Shot Heard Round the World." We describe the hated rivalry between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Giants and the tiebreaker game that decided it. I focus on Russ Hodges, the radio announcer who lost his composure and shouted "The Giants win the pennant" again and again on live radio. You get the play-by-play of the bottom of the ninth and the ball flying into the left field stands. I sign off as James A. Brown and tell you to be well.
