The Greatest World Series game ever played? Topic

I cannot find the full game as I did for games 6 and 7 but game 5 was the gem. Maybe the greatest ever. An aging Johnny Mize should have had 3 home runs: Pafko and Furillo made catches that surpass even Dwight Evans' in game 6 (1986) Or Ron Swoboda's.

But this is probably the greatest game 7 ever in a World Series - I could only find the last 3 innings in original broadcast, but they are a whole game in themselves. Wow. And like Johnny Mize - who almost hit 3 home runs in a Series game in 1952 (see above), Hal Smith ALMOST became the most famous hitter ever in a World Series. And had Mantle not gotten back to first base on Berra's slash to Nelson, the Pirates would have won it.

In second place for best game 7s? Probably this one (entire):
