Answer Question 141:
|
Home run number 16, hit on October 10, 1964 in the 1964 World Series at
Yankee Stadium. |
Answer Question 142:
|
Knuckleball pitcher Barney Schultz of the St. Louis Cardinals.
|
Answer Question 143:
|
In the pre-game meeting, the
Yankees' scouts told the players
that Cardinals' reliever Barney Schultz usually tried to throw his
first pitch across the plate to try to get ahead in the count. When the Cardinals brought Schultz in to pitch to Mickey in the bottom
of the ninth inning, Mickey told
catcher Elston Howard, the next hitter after Mickey, that he might
as well go on into the clubhouse and get dressed because he was going
to hit Schultz' first pitch for a home
run. Moments later that's exactly what he did, winning the game and
breaking the record. It was Mickey's "called shot." |
Answer Question 144:

Mickey drove in 40 runs in World Series competition, still a record. |
