50 years Ago today: Callison Creates Pandemonium At The plate
Today is the 50th Anniversary of the July 7, 1964
3-Run, Walk-Off Homer Phillie, Johnny Callison Hit at
Shea Stadium, NYC To Give the National League
a come from behind 7-4 win. Entering the bottom of
the 9th the NL trailed 4-3, but a walk to Willie Mays and a stolen base, a
bloop single behind first base by Orlando Cepeda, some daring
baserunning by Willie Mays and a throwing error by
the Yankees' Joe Pepitone in a failed attempt to cut
down Mays at the plate tied the game up and a walk to
Reds' catcher Johnny Edwards set the stage for
Callison's 2-out, game-winning blast.
Those identifiable in the mob scene at the plate surrounding
Callison are: O. Cepeda, Walter Alston, Fred Hutchinson (1),
Juan Marichal, J. Edwards, Dick Groat, Roberto Clemente,
Billy Williams (26), Hank Aaron and Ron Hunt (3).
