Harry Arthur "Cookie" Lavagetto ( December 1, 1912 — August 10, 1990) was a Third baseman, manager and The Yankees entered the game leading the series two games to one and looking to take one step closer to the series title. Bill Bevens, the Yankee starter, had pitched 8 and two thirds innings of a no-hitter, a feat never before accomplished in a World Series game, and his team was ahead 2-1. Floyd Clifford "Bill" Bevens ( October 21, 1916 - October 26, 1991) was a former right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher In Baseball, a no-hitter (also known as a no-hit game, or colloquially a no-no) refers to a game in which one of the teams prevented the other from getting Bevens got Bruce Edwards to fly out, and then walked Carl Furillo. Bruce Edwards can refer to Bruce Edwards (actor, played part in Federal Agents vs Carl Anthony Furillo ( March 8 1922 - January 21 1989) nicknamed "The Reading Rifle" and "Skoonj" was a Right fielder Spider Jorgensen fouled out.

Albert Francis "Al" Gionfriddo was born on March 8 1922 in Dysart Pennsylvania. Pete Reiser was pinch-batting for pitcher Hugh Casey when Gionfriddo stole second base. Harold Patrick "Pete" Reiser ( March 17 1919 - October 25 1981) the original "Pistol Pete" was a talented and exciting See also Hugh Casey (politician for the political figure in Northern Ireland Reiser was then intentionally walked. This was criticized in hindsight for two reasons. One was the old axiom of never intentionally putting the winning run on base. The other is that Reiser was playing injured, and the odds of getting him out seemed reasonable. In any case, Eddie Miksis pinch-ran for Reiser. Edward Thomas "Eddie" Miksis played Major League Baseball. Eddie Stanky was due up, but Cookie Lavagetto was sent up to pinch-hit. Edward Raymond Stanky ( September 3, 1916 - June 16, 1999) nicknamed "The Brat" was an American Second baseman Harry Arthur "Cookie" Lavagetto ( December 1, 1912 — August 10, 1990) was a Third baseman, manager and On a 1-0 fastball, Lavagetto lined to right field. For the American band of the same name see Fastball (band. For the game also known as fast-pitch softball see Softball. The ball ricocheted off of the right field barrier with a peculiar bounce and hit Yankee right fielder Tommy Henrich in the shoulder, as Gionfriddo and Miksis raced around to score. Thomas David Henrich (born February 20 1913 in Massillon Ohio) nicknamed "Old Reliable" is a former Right fielder in Major The play ended the no-hitter and won the game for the Dodgers.

Red Barber, the Dodgers radio announcer made the call. Walter Lanier "Red" Barber ( February 17, 1908, Columbus Mississippi – October 22, 1992) was an American Prior to the play call, he commented on the fact that Stanky had broken up Ewell Blackwell's attempt at a second consecutive no-hitter, on June 22 of that season. Ewell Blackwell ( October 23, 1922 in Fresno California - October 29, 1996 in Hendersonville North Carolina) was a right-handed In the background noise during that comment, the P. A. announcer can be heard saying that Miksis is running for Reiser:

Wait a minute. . . Stanky is being called back from the plate and Lavagetto goes up to hit. . . Gionfriddo walks off second. . . Miksis off first. . . They're both ready to go on anything. . . Two men out, last of the ninth. . . the pitch. . . swung on, there's a drive hit out toward the right field corner. Henrich is going back. He can't get it! It's off the wall for a base hit! Here comes the tying run, and here comes the winning run!

Although the hit prevented the Dodgers from being down 3 games to 1 and may have provided a momentum swing, the Yankees went on to triumph in the series by winning the deciding seventh game. The hit proved to be the last of Cookie's career.

In the top of the sixth, the Dodgers had scored 4 runs to take an 8-5 lead. In the last of the sixth, Al Gionfriddo was sent to left field as a defensive replacement for Eddie Miksis, and Joe Hatten came in to pitch. Albert Francis "Al" Gionfriddo was born on March 8 1922 in Dysart Pennsylvania. Edward Thomas "Eddie" Miksis played Major League Baseball. Joseph Hilarian Hatten ( November 7, 1916 &ndash December 16, 1988) is a former Major League Baseball Pitcher. With two on and two outs, Joe DiMaggio came to bat representing the potential tying run. Joseph Paul DiMaggio, born Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio Jr ( November 25, 1914 &ndash March 8, 1999) nicknamed Joltin' Joe The voice of broadcaster Red Barber often accompanies the film footage of this play:

Swung on, belted. Walter Lanier "Red" Barber ( February 17, 1908, Columbus Mississippi – October 22, 1992) was an American . . it's a long one. . . back for it Gionfriddo. . . back-back-back. . . he-e-e. . . makes a one-handed catch against the bullpen! Oh, Doctor!

This may have been a re-creation, but it was done with gusto by Barber, and his "back-back-back" expression has been copied by many announcers, especially Chris Berman of ESPN. Christopher ("Boomer" James Berman (born May 10, 1955 in Greenwich Connecticut) is an American sportscaster ESPN, originally an acronym for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, is an American Cable television network dedicated to It is worth pointing out that most announcers tend to describe the ball itself as going "back-back-back", whereas in Barber's call it was the outfielder who was going "back-back-back".

The ball was hit so hard and deep that Gionfriddo, already playing deep, did not have time to turn around, literally having to "back-back-back"-pedal to snare the ball just in front of the bullpen-alley fence, near the 415-foot (126 m) marker posted to the center field side of the bullpen alley (the sign on the left field side of the alley was posted as 402). It is also worth noting that had DiMaggio hit the ball in Ebbets Field, whose left-center area was some 50 feet (15 m) closer, it might have landed in the upper deck and certainly would have been a game-tying homer. Ebbets Field was a Major League Baseball park located in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York, USA.

The final segment of that clip usually shows the normally cool-and-calm DiMaggio kicking dirt around second base in frustration.

It has often been pointed out that three of the 1947 Series' prominent figures, Gionfriddo, Lavagetto and Bevens, finished their playing careers in this Series. Gionfriddo, in fact, did not play in Game 7, and his famous catch of DiMaggio's drive was his only put-out in this game. So Gionfriddo's famous catch was his final put-out in his major league career.
