Ralph Branca Pitching to Bobby Thomson

(Original Caption) Bobby Thompson, of the N.Y. Giants, is shown facing pitcher Ralph Branca, for the first time since their history-making meeting last October, when Thomson hit a homer in the ninth inning of the final game of the play off series, to win the National League Pennant for his team. With Dodger catcher, Roy Campanella (39) behind the plate, and Umpire Stewart calling the play, Thompson tensely waits for the ball. Note ball in mid air. Thomson swings and Umpire Stewart calls "Strike One". Branca ended up pitching four balls and walking Thomson. The Dodgers won the game, 11-6.
