The Dodger face the Giants this evening in San Francisco, and hopefully we experience a better result that what's shown in the photo above, via eBay. Featured is Brooklyn outfielder Duke Snider sliding hard into home plate, but being called "out" by umpire Larry Goetz - Giants catcher Wes Westrum made the tag.
On the positive side, this play only briefly stopped a surging Dodger team as they soon turned a mighty October struggle into a laugher. The October 2, 1951 game was a 10-0 triumph for the "Bums." The win brought the Dodgers into a tie with the Giants for the National League crown with the final deciding game the following day.
