what a beautiful city SF was once upon a time. i was there in 1962 and listened to this game on the radio at the grand canyon. great series...i loved the giants, but the yankees were my team...
I was 9 and a Yankees fan. My Dad was a Giants fan from way back. I remember this series and Willie McCovey lining out to Bobby Richardson at 2nd base to end it.
I was eleven when the '62 series was played. To this day i still remember my grandfather laughing at the Game 4 headlines: "(Tom) Haller, (Chuck) Hiller, Hallaelujah, and the ((Marshall) Bridges came tumbling down"!
The World Series was _it_ back then. March Madness was obscure, the Super Bowl was undreamt of, the NBA finals was a two or three city affair. The World Series was the national sports coming together.

Just finished listening to the radio call of game seven yesterday. What a game and series. Two very evenly matched ball clubs.

And it was all done well before Halloween.
Great baseball.
But was it classic baseball?
@@brianarbenz1329For sure.
Great, great series! Recall how paper thin the margin of victory.

Narrated by Mel Allen.
The Cuban missile crisis about to happen….
If only McCovey's liner had gotten by Richardson, Mays would have scored the winning run in Game 7.
