Hey WhatWuz,
I was there in the outfield bleachers when Garvey won Game 4, so if I want to refer back to these wonderful memories, I will. The sweetest sound was Jerry Coleman's "Ground ball to Nettles, to Wiggins, and the Padres have the National League Pennant! Oh, Doctor!" Some memories last forever, as Geddy Lee would say.

Who's Jerry Coleman? I guess some memories don't last forever.

If you are ignorant enough not to know who Jerry Coleman is, then try looking in the Baseball Hall Of Fame, located in Cooperstown, New York.

I see you mean Jerry Coleman (not Coleman's sounds like he is playing) Broadcasting the game. Groundball to Nettles (playing first base) to Wiggins (playing second base) I think you mean ground ball to Wiggins (playing second) to Nettles (playing first) game over.
I guess some memories don't last forever.

Gordon,
I am wondering if you actually saw this game, or were even born yet when it was played!
It was a groundball to Nettles(playing THIRD base, like he played every game that I'm aware of in his career), to Wiggins (playing second base) for the force out that ended the game. Where you came up with a 3-4-3 double play is not only inaccurate, it doesn't make sense either. A 3-6-3 would be much more common.
Jerry Coleman was the second baseman for the Yankees, and left the team during WWII and volunteered to fly combat missions, and become a national hero. He then returned to the Yanks, only to volunteer for the Korean War, to go fly some more combat missions. Oh, later he had a HOF broadcasting career.
My memory is just fine, thank you.
