Al Gionfriddo of the Brooklyn Dodgers makes a game-saving catch against Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees in the sixth game of the World Series
 

On October 5, 1947, Al Gionfriddo, inserted in left field for defensive purposes, makes one of most memorable catches in World Series history when he robs Joe DiMaggio of an extra-base hit with two men on base in the sixth inning. The outfielder’s heroics help to preserve an 8-5 Dodger victory in Game 6 of the Fall Classic, which will be the 25 year-old’s last game in the major leagues.
