About this episode
The New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers played their final game together on 8th September, 1957. 22,376 crowded into the Polo Grounds to say goodbye to the rival teams.
Of course the Giants and the Dodgers weren't leaving baseball, they were both heading out to California to establish Major League Baseball on the West Coast where they play to this day. But this would be it for the classic New York rivalry. We head into the final game of a three game series. The Dodgers have already taken the Series with two wins; can the Giants avoid the sweep and win the very last game?
We join Dodgers Radio for the game, with Jerry Doggett and Vin Scully behind the microphones.
