Vernon Hits Dictating 10th Inning Grand Slam
Washington SEnators first baseman Mickey Vernon delivered a dramatic 10th inning home run to beat the New York Yankees 5 3. The ball sailed about 450 feet over right center as Vernon received a handshake from President Eisenhower after the game. Eddie Yost, on first, had walked before Vernon connected on a waist high fastball from Allie Reynolds. Vernon, 35, known for batting titles, reflected on the thrill and said he aimed for a game decisive swing late in the contest.
