Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 280th day of the year.
On this day in 1953, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle front page reported that Game 6 of the Golden Jubilee World Series would be played at Yankee Stadium, with the Brooklyn Dodgers’ pitcher Carl Erskine battling Yankees pitcher Ed Ford. It was a do-or-die game for the Dodgers who, if they won, could continue to Game 7.
