About the Shot Heard 'Round the World

The Shot Heard 'Round the World took place on October 3, 1951. The New York Giants faced the Brooklyn Dodgers in game three to win the National League pennant. Giants player Bobby Thompson hit a dramatic three-run homer to clinch the pennant for the Giants with a final score of 5-4. The game was the first nationally televised baseball game in the US.
