Bobby Thomson, who swatted the most famous home run in baseball history — the so-called “shot heard round the world” — for the New York Giants against the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds on Oct. 3, 1951, to cap baseball’s most memorable pennant drive, died Monday (August 16) at his home in Savannah, Ga. He was 86.

Also in the NY Times, Dave Anderson writes that Thomosn was adamant that he wasn't tipped off to the pitch he hit for a three-run home run to win the 1951 pennant.
