		However, I have no problem with Ralph Branca and Bobby Thomson appearing together at card shows etc. Together, they have become a part of baseball history and, as such, they should appear together.
		Or, if he was determined to go with Branca, he could have walked Thomson (yes, I know; he was the winning run) to get to the rookie Mays, who had hit into three double plays the game before, and who was not nearly the threat that year that Thomson was.
		Ralph Branca and Bobby Thompson are honorable guys, who illustrate what sports are intended to teach - that you compete against opponents, but respect them, and enjoy good fellowship with them.
