This action-packed shot shows Joe DiMaggio flying around the bases after hitting a triple off Ellis Kinder in the bottom of the 6th during the October 2, 1949, game against the Red Sox. Red Sox right fielder Al Zarilla can be seen mid-tumble as the ball rolls free and umpire Eddie Rommel looks on. While any Yankees-Red Sox game is important, this one happened to determine the 1949 American League pennant. The Yankees staged a late-season surge that chiseled away at Boston’s lead, and the two teams went into the last game of the season tied. Though DiMaggio’s 6th inning triple didn’t plate a run, the Yankees overcame a 9th inning Boston rally to beat the Sox 5-3 and clinch the pennant.
