Player Streaks, World Series

On October 4, 1962 — In the opener of the World Series at Candlestick Park, Whitey Ford’s record scoreless inning streak ends at 33 2/3 when a surprising squeeze play by Jose Pagan brings Willie Mays home.

Clete Boyer’s seventh-inning home run, however, helps Ford win a record 10th and his final Fall Classic victory as the Yankees defeat the Giants, 6-2.
