Rare photographer's pass issued for the second and third National League playoff games between the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers at the Polo Grounds. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. This is one of only two examples of this pass graded at this level by PSA, with NONE graded higher. The significance of this pass is that it grants entry for Games 2 and 3, with Game 3 the one in which Bobby Thomson hit his famous "Shot Heard Round the World." The Giants defeated the Dodgers in dramatic fashion in Game 3 of the playoffs, with Bobby Thomson's three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth capping a four-run rally to give the Giants a 5-4 victory. For many fans listening to the game on the radio, they will never forget Russ Hodges' emotional refrain of "The Giants Win the Pennant" repeated over and over as Thomson circled the bases. 3x4".
