Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. x, [2], 223, [5] pages. Illustrations. Index. Black mark on bottom edge. A first-hand account of the golden era of baseball from Jackie Robinson's friend, former teammate and featured player in the 2013 biopic "42." Ralph Branca is best known for throwing the pitch that resulted in Bobby Thomson's Shot Heard Round the World, the historic home run that won the pennant for the New York Giants in 1951. Branca was on the losing end of what many consider to be baseball s most thrilling moment. "A Moment in Time" details the remarkable story of a man who could have been destroyed by a supreme professional embarrassment but wasn't. Branca came up as a young phenom, playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers during their heyday. He was a staple of the Dodgers teams in the late 1940s, dominating the National League. "A Moment in Time" offers a rare first-person perspective on the golden era of baseball, opening a window on an amazing world populated by legendary characters such as Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges, Leo Durocher, Branch Rickey, and Walter O'Malley. Ralph Branca tells us an entertaining, deeply inspiring, classic baseball tale. Ralph Theodore Joseph Branca (January 6, 1926 - November 23, 2016) was an American professional baseball pitcher who played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). In a 1951 playoff, Branca allowed a walk-off home run to Bobby Thomson, known as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World. In 1943, the Dodgers signed him to a contract. On Opening Day in 1947-which was also Jackie Robinson's major league debut-Branca lined up on the field beside Robinson, while other players refused. In the final game of the 1951 National League tie-breaker series against the New York Giants, Branca entered the game in relief of Don Newcombe in the bottom of the ninth inning with one out and two men on base and surrendered a walk-off home run to Bobby Thomson, giving the Giants the pennant. Branca was a pallbearer at Jackie Robinson's funeral in October 1972. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
