1963 Cardinals-Mets 6/7 Called by Lindsey Nelson Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy Ron Taylor retires the first batter in the ninth, and is just two outs away from a shutout victory. But the lowly Mets don't quit. They scrape together a pair of baserunners, and aging Duke Snider wins the game with a dramatic home run.
