Willie robs The Duke", Ebbets Field, Aug.15, 1954

There are a number of photos of spectacular catches by Duke Snider. Unfortunately, I have no skill in obtaining/moving photos to this site. Perhaps there are others who will look into this.

Sept. 28, 1951. Yankee Pitcher Allie Reynolds on his way to his second no hitter in 1951, Yogi drops foul pop, two outs, 9th inning.
You don't want to give a hitter a second chance.............especially when it's Ted Williams. Reynolds pitches to Ted again, "dega vu all over again". Ted hits another foul pop and this time Yogi catches it, game over.
Saw an interview with Ted, if I recall he said he thought Allie would throw the same pitch.........and he did.
On the subject of Allie Reynolds, never gets his due. Great starting pitcher and also some clutch relieving regular and World Series.

Too much tension for Yankee fan Rose Conway during a crucial Yank/Bosox game, down to the wire, Sept. 7, 1949.

1940, Dodger fan Frank Germano attacks ump George Magerkurth. Frank not pleased with 10 inning close call that gave Reds 4-3 win over Dodgers. Security looks on.

**SHOELESSJOE3** · 02-22-2012, 06:16 PM

More on that ump attacked. Ump Magerkurth "reversed' an out call by ump Bill Stewart that kept a Cinci rally alive and led to Red's win. According to the NY TImes the ump did land a few head shots at the start of the fight.
