Why does it say Bobby Richardson Was The 1925 World Series MVP Whean His Team Didn't even play in Th World Series that year and it says he was the MVP of The World Series even though his team lost? I'm not gonna delete it just yet, I need someother people to it for themselves so than it will be approved to be deleted.-- Sonicobbsessed 19:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
An irony about the defensive snafu with neither Bill Skowron nor Jim Coates covering first is that Bobby Shantz, whom Coates had just replaced on the mound, was widely recognized (several Gold Gloves) as one of the best fielding pitchers in the game. It's too bad for the Yanks that they hadn't left Shantz in there for just one more batter. WHPratt ( talk) 16:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC) Well, a few more batters, I should have said.

Observing the replay (from the supposedly-lost footage), I do see Jim Coates heading to 1st, but his route wasn't quite direct; there was a slight bend in it toward the 2nd-base side of the straight line to 1st base (presumably because of confusion about fielding the ball), and although Coates continued on to 1st base (where he would have covered), that bend presumably delayed him enough to cause him not to arrive in time to receive the ball and cover 1st. Skowron was obviously pulled away from 1st in the act of fielding the ball as Coates ran on past him towards 1st, and we see Skowron had to hold onto the ball because it was too late for that play at 1st. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.47 ( talk) 21:24, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
I do see the remark that if Mantle had been out (on the play where he got back to 1st base when the batter was already out), the run (9th run for Yankees) would still have counted if it had scored earlier. Mantle's play still stood as monumental for the moment because the top of the 9th continued (although it soon ended when the next batter hit into a force play), so I made a note to that effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 ( talk) 14:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I have also seen the question as to why Mantle was so close to 1st on the play which ended with him sliding back into 1st. (Remember that a force was in effect until the batter was put out.) Although I cannot answer it, I have recalled seeing the following situation which was on some major-league baseball broadcast as a "side show" (something like "you make the call"):
Short film clip showed a runner on his hands and knees, touching 1st base with hands, and with feet pointing toward 2nd base. Also in the frame was a fielder (probably the 1st baseman) with the ball; not shown was the batter-runner. There had to be less than 2 out when this play started. The question was how many were retired on this play (notice the fielder had a chance to get 2 outs). Based on what was shown, it was explained that only 1 out was obtained on this play, because the fielder touched the base before tagging the runner; touching the base put the batter out and instantly removed the force, and the fielder is shown disgusted when he realized what he did. I don't know where that play came from, but it too could generate the question of why the runner was so close to 1st. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 ( talk) 18:06, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Still available among the references for the 1960 World Series article on Wikipedia is NY Times article "50 years later, a slide still confounds". There is a hint that the grounder reached Rocky Nelson (1st baseman) in a hurry, so does it follow that Mantle didn't have time to get very far toward 2nd base? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 ( talk) 17:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
I have now seen that play myself. Even the game commentator noted that it happened quickly and McDougald didn't have time to move a long distance from 3rd toward home. But McDougald scored and that tied the game, 9-9. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.47 ( talk) 22:02, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
2nd paragraph has players in this series who were MVPs (past, present, or future). How does Bill Mazeroski get included here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 ( talk) 18:01, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
