55 years ago today, perhaps my favorite non-WS game I ever watched or listened to played out on my transistor radio. It was a Thursday evening. School had just started, and we had just completed our third day of my 9th grade year. I was forbidden to be listening to my transistor radio, but I chose to ignore the rules and listen anyway. Of course that is another story that will stay between my therapist and myself.
Lineups for the game between the Dodgers and Cubs are listed below . The Cubs had three HOF players in the lineup (Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks), while the Dodgers only had a HOF left handed starting pitcher…Sandy Koufax.
