Bobby Thomson & Ralph Branca Dual Autographed "The Shot" New York Giants, 1951:
$160.00

This is a rare autographed photo of Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca from the New York Giants' iconic 1951 season. The two players signed this original piece, captured in the moment of Thomson's famous "Shot Heard 'Round the World" home run. Authentication comes from Stacks of Plaques and the item is in excellent condition.

Thomson became a celebrity for his walk-off home run off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca to win the 1951 National League pennant. The home run, nicknamed the "Shot Heard 'Round the World", was dramatic, as until 1969, league pennants were only decided by a playoff when the teams involved finished the regular season in a tie.

The moment was immortalized by Giants play-by-play announcer Russ Hodges's excited multiple repetitions: "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!"

It's a must-have for any serious collector of baseball memorabilia, especially for fans of the Giants and this incredible season in their history.
