“Thomson hits a long drive. It’s going to be, I believe… The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hit one into the lower deck of the left-field stands. The Giants win the pennant!” —Russ Hodges, New York Giants broadcaster. On October 3, 1951, Bobby Thomson’s “shot heard around the world” ended one of the most dramatic pennant races ever. Interviews, contemporary newspaper articles and memoirs of the participants are used to describe the intense rivalry and provide a day-by-day look at the Giants’ pennant run. The strategy of the final game is also examined.
