World Series
 

 

October 9, 1946 – Game three of the World Series at Fenway Park, St Louis Cardinals catcher Joe Garagiola, with his mask tossed aside, steps wide of the plate to take pitches from starting pitcher Murry Dickson as Boston Red Sox Ted Williams is giving an intentional pass in the first inning.
But St Louis skipper Eddie Dyer’s strategy would backfire as the next batter in Rudy York with hit a three-run home run scoring Williams and Dom DiMaggio, who doubled ahead of Williams, to give Boston an early 3-0 lead.
The Red Sox would add an insurance run in the eighth inning for a 4-0 advantage and combined with ace Dave Ferriss splendid pitching, a complete game shutout giving up just six Cardinal hits, would give them a 2-1 lead in the series.
