"The shot heard 'round the world."
New York 5, Brooklyn 4, (Polo Grounds)
"Hartung down the line at third, not taking any chances. Lockman without too big of a lead at second, but he'll be running like the wind if Thomson hits one. Branca throws. There's a long drive. It's gonna be, I believe- The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant! And they're going crazy! They've going crazy! Oh-ho!"
- Giants radio announcer Ross Hodges, 1951
