Casey Stengel Inside the parker in the 1923 World Series
Thursday marked the 90-year anniversary of the first World Series game ever played at the original Yankee Stadium. That game was also the first World Series game to be nationally broadcast on-site, which in and of itself is a huge milestone in the game‘s history. But despite the incredible historical significance that surrounded Game 1 of the 1923 World Series, it was the legendary Casey Stengel who stole the headlines, winning the game for the New York Giants with a ninth inning inside-the-park home run off Joe Bush.
It’s a great, almost entirely forgotten baseball moment that has been rarely seen, but thanks to the incredible team over at MLB Productions, we can relive it over and over again through the newsreel footage they released on Thursday. It’s a quick video, but it’s definitely worth a look.
