Celebration of Dodgers' Victory with Hug in Series Game
The Page from the 1948-10 Sportfolio captures a moment of triumph and elation from the 1947 World Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees. It highlights a pivotal event in Game 4 of the Series, marked by Dodgers manager Burt Shotton embracing Cookie Lavagetto. This scene encapsulates Lavagetto's critical pinch-hit double in the ninth inning, which not only secured the Dodgers' first hit of the game but also clinched their victory. This moment was emblematic of the Dodgers’ resilience and ability to capitalize on pressure situations against their New York rivals. Lavagetto's hit is historically significant as it spoiled Yankees’ pitcher Bill Bevens' near no-hitter.
