@18:16, it's Maris who will field Edwards' 2B, not Johnny Blanchard. Blanchard did have one awesome arm, since he was a catcher. Funny, Blanchard and Edwards should each have played more in the Fall Classic! Blanchard PH in games 1 & 3 (and as you will see, came up with a big hit in the third contest), and started games 2 & 4 (in RF). The reason, of course, that he didn't play more is Mickey Mantle played all of game three and the first three innings of the fourth contest. Hector Lopez replaced Mantle after Mickey singled with Maris on first in the T4. The outfield starting lineups for the New York Yankees went like this in each contest: Game 1: Berra, LF. Maris, CF. Lopez, RF (Blanchard batted for Lopez in the B8, after which Jack Reed came in to play CF and Maris went to RF) Game 2: Berra, LF. Maris, CF. Blanchard, RF Game 3: Berra, LF, Mantle, CF (Reed takes over in B9). Maris, RF Game 4: Berra, LF. Mantle, CF (Lopez comes in to PR in T4, Maris moves to CF in the B5, Lopez moves to RF). Maris, RF (until B5) Game 5: Lopez, LF (Berra got hurt in game 4), Maris, CF (Reed again takes over CF in B9, Maris to RF). Blanchard, RF (until B9) For Cincinnati: Games 1 + 2: Frank Robinson, LF. Vada Pinson, CF. Wally Post, RF Games 3-5: Post, LF. Pinson, CF. Robinson, RF Meanwhile, the Reds use three catchers: Game 1: Darrel Johnson (Cardenas PH for him in the T8, then Jerry Zimmerman takes over behind the plate in B8). Goes 0-2 (against Whitey Ford, his old teammate!) Game 2: Edwards plays full game, 2-4, 2B (x 2), RBI (x 2) Game 3: Edwards plays until B9 (1-3, 2B, run. PH Cardenas just misses game-tying HR in ninth inning). Game 4: Johnson (Gus Bell PH for him in the B7. Johnson is 2-2 against Ford!) Zimmerman takes over beind the dish in T8 (Edwards is implied to be in the on-deck circle when the last out is made in B9) Game 5: Edwards goes 1-4, almost adds a BB in B4.

You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Lonberg ruined his career in a ski ing accident what a waste

THIS WORLD IS 60 YEARS OLD STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW THE YANKEES LOST I WAS A YOUNG BOY AT THE TIME KENNETH O

I attended game 4. Yankees should have broken it open in the first couple of innings but only scored those 3 in the first. They showed Mantle out trying to stretch a first inning single. Mantle was also picked off second in the third. Richardson botched a double play grounder leading to Ken Boyer's grand slam off Downing who was terrible relieving in game 7. Too many mistakes in all games. That's on Yogi.

Just 1 or 2 plays determine the winner in a close Series. Pepitone beat the throw in the 9th inning of game 5. If they would have had challenges then, that would’ve been overruled and Tresh’s HR is a walk off winner for the Yankees instead of Cardinals winning in 10, and the Yankees are up 3-2. I’m a former Yankees/baseball fan but don’t watch it anymore except for a WS game sometimes. Too much chest beating and bat flipping when a HR is hit, batters stepping out of the box after every pitch to rearrange themselves, starting pitchers too soft to go past 5 innings, and MLB getting involved with politics. Sports are supposed to be an escape from politics and other things going on in the world.

Saw it then...

The 1964 St. Louis Cardinals are brilliant in kicking the Yankees ass in the world series. 😀👍⚾️

If he pitched one inning closing like they do now he could have lasted 10 years.

My first World Series, 60 years ago. I can't believe how much of this I remember. Shannon's homer in Game 1, Mantle's walk-off on Schultz's first pitch in Game 3, Gibson pitching 10 innings in Game 5 and then finishing Game 7 on sheer nerve. That ninth inning with the two homers, just agonizing and praying for Gibson to get that last out. Keane left him in and he got it done. What a warrior. Great Series, great memories. Thank you for uploading!

Amazing to see how restrained the Dodgers are at the end of the game. No leaping on each other or hugging, or jumping around.

Our 7th grade Shop teacher had the World Series on a radio in class each day. It was Great! (Hosterman Jr High, New Hope MN).

This is the first WS i remember following. My family were all old Brooklyn Dodger fans so we couldn't root for the Yankees. The Mets would be formed the next year and we rooted for them. Thanks for the video.

The players in the 60s were classier and way better than what we have now.

Yaz was tremendous in the 1967 world series.

That's when sports was great not like the crap you see now

I remember I had to record this game on Valentines Day in 1999. Worked at Home Depot that day and it was the day after Marti Gras which I remember a group of Red Wing fans had beers and beeds with a girl that showed all her stuff. She was the only good Red Wings fan I ever knew.

Enos Slaughter ! When ever there post season on the line you should see all the tributes and favorite snacks Enos knoshed on in the dug out ❤️

My last year in Little League was 1964. Our uniforms were white with red lettering. I wore number 8 and batted left handed. Watched and rooted for the new players coming up through the mid 60s. Then came 1967, a freshman in high school watched the games that were televised, but the bulk were listened to on transistor radios. Everyone on the edge of their seats for 162 games. The final weekend beat the Minnesota Twins twice and got to the World Series. The cardiac kids gave us their all. A week after the conclusion of the 67 World Series, late October a charity golf tournament was held at Pleasant Valley Country Club, Sutton, Massachusetts. Tickets were sold to the general public. An estimated crowd of around 10,000 gathered to watch Golf Professional Paul Harney, Bob Cousy, Ken Harrelson and Carl Yastrzemski play 18 holes. This kid capped off the Impossible Dream caddying for Carl Yastrzemski that day! I would have done it for nothing but thank you for the generous tip Mr. Yastrzemski.

A fitting departure.. just a little pop.

500 sports writers?

Back when baseball was worth watching.

It's NOT Team Sweden. It's NOT Team Canada. It's Sweden. It's Canada. When are N. Americans gonna learn.

Cool vid

Two days rest, incredible.....plus, Gibson finished the extra inning game, by throwing the 10'th......can you imagine today, anything like that happening??? The game is unwatchable nowadays.....like girls softball, with all the rule changes, clocks, replays, substitution rules, etc.....

Danny Ozark, first base coach of the Dodgers....in just seven short years, he would be manager of the Phillies....this is when baseball was still pure, pitchers hitting, from Grant to Koufax....just the best era ever of the once great game......now, it's unwatchable, MLB, ESPN, MLB Network have destroyed the once great game of baseball....."The Mudcat", pitches a two hitter on two days rest, a CG, and "chips" in with the game winning 3 run HR.......incredible stuff.....and, when was the last time "you" saw a pepper game? Anyone?? Most today, have never heard of such a thing (a pepper game??)

Even with the bad calls the Yankees were in this series till the end !

Bad calls cost the Yankees this series !

The ball players today should take notes ! The ball players today act like they’re dope! Nope not at all you guys just play for the money these days

This is where the Mall of America sits now.😢

I watched this live and thought, "He's in trouble!"

The 64 series was the end of the Yankee dynasty all their star players were at the end of the rope they didn’t become competitive again until the mid 70s

The Reds got revenge 15 years later when they swept the Yankees four straight in 1976.

Would be nice if the dodgers play at least one or two home games a year at the old Colosseum.

Fantastic old footage. Very enjoyable.👍🎯

Baseball was a great game back in the day.

Andy Kosco will forever be the answer to the trivia question "Who replaced Mickey Mantle after his last at-bat?"

No one’s going to St. Louis in 2024 if they don’t want to get rolled. Glorious America is long gone. I was around in 64. I remember it.

My first World Series, though at age 6 weeks, I was a bit young to be following it closely.

These guys were real deal Holyfield Champions.

4:23 a run scores because a throw hits a bat lying in front of the plate. So does that count as an RBI by the batter?

This was a confusing series for Mantle. He batted .333 with 3 HR and drove in 8. On the other hand, he fielded poorly and was burned on a hidden ball play.

This is what i watch sports of the early years no overkill . And blue collar worker can afford .I'm sure they miss our presence .

His manager ruined him. He insisted that Dick develope a curve. That ruined his fast ball, it took just enough off where he started getting hit.

Neither team used their closer much...

A little less aggressive baserunning by Brock might have won it for StL. Yeah, he stole 7 bases, but some were at times where it didn't matter and he was picked off or thrown out at some bad times. Also he should have slid in Gm 5. Still a great series for Lou.

Amazing what would get on-air talent fired back then

Love the video especially the old unis.

Cuccinello should have been fired on the spot for sending Lollar home with no outs. That turned the whole Series around.
