WHERE is Bobby Thomson? ESPN backs the bus up over baseball history

ESPN currently has a pop-up window slide-type show of the top 50 baseball postseason performances ever.

Thomson’s 1951 “Shot Heard Around the World,” giving the Giants the pennant over the Dodgers in a three-game playoff, is nowhere to be found.

OK, maybe it was a special playoff and not part of regularly scheduled postseason games. But, it WAS a playoff!

And, on a separate webpage that links from that Thompson’s epic feat is NOT among the top 10 events of the 1950s to be voted on.

Unbelieveable.
