1947 World Series

The 47 World Series was another remarkable 7 game affair between us and the Yankees. We took game one at home, 3-1 behind Satch. They clobbered Ted Radcliff in game two, winning 10-5.

We took games 3 and 4 in New York to put them on the brink but down 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth of game five, Charlie Keller hit a 3 run bomb off of Al Gerheauser to give them the lead. We scored one in the ninth but it wasn't enough and the series returned to Philly. Radcliff got beat up again and they coasted to an easy 8-4 win to set up a seventh and deciding game between Leon Day and Spud Chandler.

Pee Wee Reese had an RBI double to give them a 1st inning lead but we would counter with two runs, one of which came from a Luke Easter homer, in the bottom of the inning to make it 2-1.

A Josh Gibson RBI single in the third made it 3-1. Hank Bauer would knock in a run in the top of the fourth to make it 3-2 and Mickey Vernon would homer in the sixth to tie it up at 3-3.

In the bottom of the seventh, Irvin would single, steal second and score on a Dandridge single to put us up 4-3. In the eighth, Chandler singled and Keller doubled to lead off the inning, Reese would place Chandler with a sacrifice fly and we brought in Scarbough to relieve Day. He allowed an RBI single to Joe Gordon and the Yankees took a 5-4 lead.

A Hank Edwards pinch hit RBI single in the bottom of the inning tied it again at 5. A wild affair.

In the ninth, Johnny Lindell singled off of Andy Karl to score Frankie Hayes and put the Yankees back ahead 6-5. In the bottom of the ninth we were down to our last out with nobody on and Luke Easter at the plate. He blasted one into the left field bleachers to improbably tie the game at 6-6.

In the bottom of the tenth, Suttles and Northey led off with back to back singles, putting runners at the corners and setting the stage for pinch hitter Eddie Miller to single up the middle and score Suttles and give us our 4th straight title.

Dandridge hit .394 in the series and while Easter struggled, I'd say hitting two bombs in game 7 more than makes up for it.

Gibson hit .318 and Ron Northey had 7 hits in 18 at bats.
