(CBS Local)– It’s been 50 years since the New York Mets shocked the Baltimore Orioles to win the 1969 World Series and people are still asking Ron Swoboda about his famous catch.
Swoboda never made the All-Star team during his nine year career, but he made one of the best plays in World Series history when he robbed Brooks Robinson of hit in the 9th inning of game four of the 1969 World Series. Swoboda talks about the catch, his career, and life after baseball in a new book called “Here’s The Catch.” Winning in 1969 was extra special for the Maryland native.
