ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING

"THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT"

 PROMOTIONAL LP PUT OUT BY CHESTERFIELD 3 TO 1 CLUB

REMEMBER THE HAIR-RAISING FINISH TO THE TORRID NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT RACT IN 1951.  BROOKLYN HAD IT "SEWED UP" WITH A 13-1/2 GAME LEAD IN AUGUST.  THEN THE GIANTS GOT HOT, HAD A 16-GAME WINNING STREAK, AND FINALLY TIED IT UP ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON BY SQUEAKING PAST THE BRAVES AS THE DODGERS WENT INTO EXTRA INNINGS TO BEAT THE PHILLIES IN THEIR FINAL GAME.  THE GIANTS WON THE FIRST PLAY-OFF GAME AND THE DODGERS WALKED AWAY WITH THE SECOND.  THIS SECOND PLAY-OFF GAME BECAME AN HISTORICAL EVENT IN BROADCASTING WHEN CHESTERFIELD BROUGHT THE GAME TO MILLIONS OF TELEVISION FANS FROM COAST TO CAOST ON A 49-STATION NBC-TV NETWORK, BECAUSE THIS WAS THE FIRST CONTINENTAL COMMERCIAL TELECAST OF A SPORTS EVENT ON THE NEWLY OPENED, CROSS-COUNTRY COAXIAL CABLE.

THE THIRD AND LAST GAME WAS A PITCHER'S DUEL UNTIL THE 8TH INNING WHEN THE DODGERS WENT OUT IN FRONT WITH A COMMANDING 4 TO 1 LEAD.  IT WAS STILL 4 TO 1 WHEN THE GIANTS CAME UP TO BAT IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE 9TH.  HERE IS RUSS HODGES' EXCITING DESCRIPTION OF THAT THRILLING LAST HALF-INNING.

 ( RARE ) HARD TO FIND RECORD
