It's October 5, 1956, Game 2 of the World Series, the Yankees vs. the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. Your view from above captures the essence of this long-gone neighborhood ballpark in Flatbush, Brooklyn. That's Sullivan Street running along the first base side, Bedford Avenue beyond the right field screen, McKeever Place along the third base side and Montgomery Street beyond the stands in left. Inside, Yankee third baseman Billy Martin has just fielded Jackie Robinson's first-inning grounder, stepped on third to force Jim Gilliam and fired to first for the double play. The Dodgers went on to erase a 6-0 deficit in the game and defeat the Yankees 13-8. |
