   Thank you! One correction: it looks like the Cubs won Game 1, 11-8. Hank Sauer had a monster game (4 for 4, 2 HRs and 2 doubles).

   Whoa! This is kinda insane… On June 25, 1950 the Phils and Cubs split a double-header with Ashburn knocking in Caballero with the bases loaded to walk off the second game. Robin Roberts beat Bob Rush 2-1. On July 25, 1950 (the game I accidentally found and commented on in my prior post) the Phils shutout the Cubs in both…

   Wild guess here....I searched for significant walk off Phillies wins in the 1950s. Found a June 25, 1950 game against Cubs where Richie Ashburn singled to drive in Putsy Caballero in the bottom of the 9th. Robin Roberts (#36) pitched a complete game which would explain why he was at home plate. Stan Lopata (#29) was in the…

   Hi Jim No - been on way too long not to take a little criticism even if not directly at me? That's why I gave AI full credit - I agree they make all kinds of mistakes - I have found they do way better when you supply the data to be analyzed vs asking them to research archives. That's a good photo - wish it had a date on…

   Thanks Mike. Don’t take any of this personally - it’s more a criticism of AI because it gave me all kinds of provably false info as I was researching this. Maybe I’m too young to remember - born in 1971 - but it seems really odd to me that fans in those days would be on the field to celebrate in the 9th when the game was…

   Got this from google AI: Do I 100% trust AI on this? No. This photograph captures the historic post-game celebration following the 1950 Philadelphia Phillies winning the National League Pennant. Here are the specific details identifying the photo:Who: Stan Lopata (#29), Robin Roberts (#36), and Johnny Blatnik (#11) are…
