Branca's Blister Sparks Second-Guessers
Brooklyn veteran Ralph Branca left the game after the eighth inning with Philadelphia, despite five hits and one run allowed. Burt Shotton pulled Branca citing a blister on the first finger, a move that cost Brooklyn a 5-3 loss and left the Dodgers a game and a half back in the pennant race with four games remaining. Campanella supported the decision, while Branca disputed the issue saying the blister was not live. The finger showed only old skin residues upon examination.
