MLB Productions: MLB 1961- World Series Game 5- New York Yankees @ Cincinnati Reds: Highlights

"1961 World Series Game 5: Yankees @ Reds" 

From Baseball Ruski

You can see why the New York Yankees were called the Bronx Bombers during this era. I mean they have Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, when Maris was still a deadly power hitter, and Elston Howard (to name a few) all in the same lineup. A very difficult team to pitch to, especially in a small ballpark like Crosley Field in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Reds really needed a great game from their starting pitcher to have any shot at beating the Yankees, even at their home ballpark, which they simply didn't get. And the Reds threw batting practice instead losing this game 13-5.
