[NJARC] The Shot Heard 'Round the World

[Robert Bennett]

Funny thing is that as I sat in my shared office with WFAN (sports) radio
660 on, I heard callers call saying they heard that broadcast live on their
transistor radio............. We know better! Giggle!

run, the ``Shot Heard 'Round the World'':
   ___=
   ``Hartung down the line at third, not taking any chances.
Lockman without too big of a lead at second, but he'll be runnin'
like the wind if Thomson hits one.
   ``Branca throws. There's a long drive. It's gonna be, I believe
_ the Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The
Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!
   ``Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field
stands! The Giants win the pennant! And they're going crazy!
They're going crazy!''
