The local news has been reporting on the passing of a local baseball hero. Larry Jansen pitched for the NY Giants from 1947 thru 1954. He was the winning pitcher of the "Shot Heard Round the World" game in the '51 World Series.

Here's the online obit.

Thanks for sharing the photos of Mr. Jansen. I don't have a comprehensive selection of cards like that. Nice....
