I see Billy Martin and Yogi Berra both on the Yankees roster and Manrle of course

Game starts off really slow but the action picks up, the teams are short on arms so this is mostly in the hands of the bullpens - lots of pitching changes.

Throwing the ball to 1st (to try and get the runner) from RF was a thing in 1952, tried once unsuccessfully in this game.

In field fly rule existed.

Impressive game by Mantle, huge home run, he was only 20 years old here.

Jackie Robinson (33 years old) loved to bunt, there was alot of bunting in this game.  Phil Rizzuto had a beauty in the 7th.

These players can turn the dp just like today - 6/4/3, 4/6/3 - routine.

The announcer couldn't figure out what Billy Martin had under his eye lol  Mud (Eye black).  I guess it wasn't common yet.

It was a fun watch but sometime hard to follow because of no graphics - none.
