If Nelson could have tagged Mantle out before McDougald crossed home plate the inning and the game would be over! Of course, they didn't have 50 cameras recording everything back then so we can't see exactly what was happening. I don't know if McDougald was running on contact or waiting, but at some point he took off for home. Nelson fields the ball near the bag and steps on first- Berra's out but the force is off.
If Nelson can throw to second for the force on Mantle and get the return throw before Berra reaches first it'll be a double play and the game will be over, Pirates winning 9-8. Berra hits a hard grounder to first, close to the bag.
If the Pirates could turn a double play the inning and the game would be over. There was 1 out, the Yankees had McDougald on third and Mantle on first. Then the Yankees rallied in the top of the 9th. The Pirates had rallied in the bottom of the 8th- they were down 7-4, then scored 5 runs capped by Smith's homer, and were ahead 9-7 going to the 9th- 3 outs from a World Series victory.

That is what I was thinking, forgot the force and that one or two seconds he thought about it, just enough time for Mick to get back.Īlso, maybe he knew about the force but thought Mick would try to make second base, thought about throwing to second.Wow, Joe- this is coming back to me- plus a little research on my part to refresh my memory.
