THE WAY IT WAS
This game is Subway Series history …
October 6, 1956
GAME 3
Yankees 5, dodgers 3
The Yanks’ Whitey Ford pitches a complete game, giving up just eight hits and fanning dodger slugger Duke Snider three times.
Enos Slaughter, the Bombers’ 40-year-old outfielder, turned into the surprise hero of the day, smacking in a three-run homer in the sixth before 73,977 cheering fans at a sold-out Yankee Stadium.
