Yankees History: Forgotten heroics in the 1957 World Series

You can probably remember the biggest home runs in YankeesWorld Series history. Ones like Jim Leyritz’s game-tying shot in Game 4 of 1996, or say any of Reggie Jackson’s three in 1977 Game 6 come to mind, but there are countless others.

You can also probably remember ones that were massive at the time but happened during a year the Yankees lost the World Series. There was the three memorable shots that helped the Yankees rally and win Games 4 and 5 of the 2001 Fall Classic. You might be too young to remember, but there are even blasts like Yogi Berra’s in Game 7 in 1960, which rallied the Yankees out of a 4-2 hole to take the lead before a crazy last couple innings ended with Bill Mazeroski winning the championship for the Pirates.
