PHOENIX (JQP) — Carroll Walter “Whitey” Lockman -The guy behind ahead of the guy. Look at this, okay? I want you to remember this face, here. Okay? This is the guy behind the guy behind the guy. No, just the guy
ahead of the guy. Just the guy ahead of Bobby Thomson. Just the guy ahead of the Shot Heard Round The World. And they’re pickin’ Bobby Thomson up… and carryin’ him off the field!
If it weren’t for Whitey Lockman, there would be no Shot Heard Round The World. If it weren’t for Whitey Lockman, there would be no Bobby Thomson to pick up. The Giants trailed 4-1 in the ninth.
