| Summary: |
The New York Yankees. The New York Giants. The Brooklyn Dodgers. It's safe to say that Manhattan and its surrounding communities had no shortage of baseball at the dawn of the 1950s-and yet, by decade's end, team relocations would radically alter the landscape of the game. This program tours that ten-year stretch in all its glory and swan-song turmoil. Viewers follow the exploits of Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, Casey Stengel, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays, while also learning about Bobby Thomson's "shot heard 'round the world" and Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. |
