1947 Bond Bread Exhibits Whitey Lockman. Lockman played a supporting role in one of the most famous ninth-inning comebacks in baseball history.

On October 3, 1951, Lockman scored the tying run, just ahead of Bobby Thomson, on Thomson's home run that gave the New York Giants the National League championship — baseball's "Shot Heard 'Round the World." Lockman's one-out double against the Brooklyn Dodgers had scored Alvin Dark with the Giants' first run of the inning, and made the score 4–2, Brooklyn. His hit knocked Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe out of the game, and, on the play, Giant baserunner Don Mueller injured his ankle sliding into third base.

While Mueller was being carried off the field to be replaced by pinch runner Clint Hartung, Dodger manager Chuck Dressen, acting on the instructions of Dodger bullpen coach Clyde Sukeforth, called on relief pitcher Ralph Branca, whose second pitch was hit by Thomson over the head of Andy Pafko into the Polo Grounds' lower left field stands for a game-winning, three-run homer. After some research I found out this card while not a "big" name is still valuable. The condition of the card as posted here isn't the best but considering the age is still a nice card. It has creases on the upper portion of the card as well as in the middle. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Like all my other cards if will be in a top loader, team bag and a Plain White Envelope. The winner has 7 days to give a verified name and address or card will be relisted.
