Casey Stengel was once asked what the key to his success was and replied: ‘I never go anywhere without my man’
Yogi Berra is so underrated because of his Yogi-isms. He was a great player and never gets his due.

I was 12 years-old, and a fan of both Jim O'Toole, and Mickey Mantle.  Also a big fan of Mel Allen and Joe Garagiola.

even partial game seeing greats in original broadcast awesome, thanks

The Reds really had cool looking uniforms back in the late ‘50s and into the mid ‘60s. Too bad they didn’t keep those unis when they became the big red machine of the ‘70s

Roger Maris was an outstanding base runner. I never saw him make a base running mistake. Took third  in 62’ World Series on a routine fly ball to center fielder Willie Mays shortly scoring the winning run.

Got to see them all play together in years 1960 through 1964. Cried in 1960 when Mazoroski beat them. I was 11. The “Mick “ was my hero.

Ironically, it was Mel Allen’s fault that Mantle was injured. Allen had recommended a quack doctor who treated celebrities, including President Kennedy, with vitamin shots. The one to mantle was mid-administered, became seriously infected. Thus Mantle’s absence for most of series.

Wow, I had no idea Joe Garagiola's broadcast career started that far back (1955). I sure enjoyed him as a kid.

A dream series for me would of been the 76 Reds and the 61 Yankees . Played at Crosley Field and the old Yankee Stadium.

The BEST Yankee team, ever. Power, pitching .fielding. They did it all.

What a piece of history. Shame there is not more from this period👍🙈🙉🙊

This is sure a treasure. I remember this season even though I was only 8 when the WS was played. I play the baseball strat-o-matic game still bought back in 1971 when I picked up all the 1960s contender teams offered by the game. I still have the 1961 Yankees and Reds teams so am very familar with both. As mentioned below, Mantle had a leg infection and Maris hit only .105 in the WS after both had great seasons. It was Bobby Richardson, Moose Skowron, Hector Lopez, and Johnny Blanchard who really stepped up big.  The Yankees had a big home run hitting team, but what also made them so good was the pitching of Whitey Ford, Ralph Terry, Bill Stafford, and their reliver Luis Arroyo. St. Louis hero Yogi Berra could still play well. The Reds had Frank Robinson and their own big hitters. Cards fan

Over all reds played admirably

So glad to see this post of a game I watched as a 7-yr old living in up-state NY.  Would be great if the whole game was available, but I'm very thankful this portion exists. And hearing Mel Allen do this game brings back fond memories of my beginning love of baseball. WHAT A HOSE JOB HE GOT WHEN HE WAS FIRED!!!!!

Wseries day games. Crosley field and other green cathedrals at the time

What a treasure! Thanks for posting.

Awesome footage.  Thank you.

Maris, Mantle, Howard, Berra...pretty good.

I watched this as a kid. Thanks for posting!

I remember listening to the game on my little transistor radio. Can we guess how many future Hall of Farme players played in that World Series? 1961 what a great year for baseball.
