Cubs historical sleuthing: Jackie Robinson edition

This tenth inning home plate action shows the Dodgers’ winning run, which was to trounce the Chicago Cubs, 60 to 5. Photo shows Jackie Robinson as he nears home-plate on a short fly by Gil Hodges to left field with the bases loaded. Catcher Toby Atwell leans forward awaiting the arrival of the ball that would have put Robinson out.

Well, obviously this game did not end with a score of 60-5, that’s a typo. Thought I’d leave it in for amusement value.

Anyway, operating under the assumption this was a 6-5 walkoff win for the Dodgers — they’re wearing white uniforms, so they must have been the home team — I did some searching.
