At Yankee Stadium...

 Al Gionfriddo of the Brooklyn Dodgers makes a great catch a few feet from the left field fence, denying Joe DiMaggio of at least a triple, or a possible inside the park Homer that could have tied the game. The play was in game 6 on October 5 1947. Brooklyn won 8-6, but the Yankees won the world series. It is a rare instance joe DiMaggio publically was upset. Here is a shot of inside Yankee Stadium.

Both games on Saturday.
