1952 Topps #313, Bobby Thomson ⭐ 1952 Topps #274 Ralph Branca ⭐ Both are inseparably remembered for one famous moment in MLB history - October 3, 1951. Neither are Hall of Famers, but both were legitimately good major league baseball players. Branca was a three-time All-Star (1947–49) with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Thomson was a three-time All-Star and a consistently productive hitter.
I might have already posted my Bobby Thomson signed 8×10 and Thomson/Willie Mays dual relic (/8!), but today's the anniversary of one of the most famous moments in baseball history, sooooo......
1948 Bowman, 1951 Bowman, 1952 Bowman & 1952 Topps ⭐ Bobby Thomson On October 3, 1951, Bobby Thomson hit the "Shot Heard 'Round the World," a dramatic three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the New York Giants a 5-4 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers and the National League pennant.
Plus a Bobby Thompson signed 8×10, which I posted as a mantelpiece as part of my "famous moments" pc, but I was only allowed to upload one pic for that and I wanted to post a closeup of the card 😎
