Baseball action captured at the Coliseum during the Dodgers' first World Series. The Dodgers were mediocre in the regular season, but defeated the Milwaukee Braves in a playoff to reach the Series. Then they swept the Chicago White Sox in four games behind Larry Sherry's clutch pitching. Note the infamous 40-foot-high screen in left field, just 251 feet from home plate.
