On October 8, 1939, In the top of the tenth, Yankee outfielder Joe DiMaggio scores all the way from first base when Reds’ catcher Ernie Lombardi lies in a daze at home plate after being run over by ‘King Kong’ Charlie Keller. The Bronx Bombers score three runs thanks to ‘Lombardi’s Swoon’ and will go on to win the game, 7-4, to complete the World Series sweep and become the first club to win four consecutive Fall Classics.
