The most famous plays in World Series history was the All Star game played at Wrigley Field in the year 1947. The American League won the game by 2-1 in the postwar baseball era. A three-inning performance given by Ewell Blackwell and Hal Newhouser was worth seeing. In the fourth inning a home run was given by Frank Shea to the National League's Johnny Mize. The president Ford Frick of National League was worried by the uneven totals and it was about to make the fans disinterested. The situation was going to get worse. In the sixth inning the American League got tied up and the in the seventh inning Johnny Sain got the winning run off. As a rookie for the New York Yankees Frank “Spec” Shea won two games in 1947 World Series. He led the league and became the first rookie pitcher. He won the game by controlling rival to just .200 hitting. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams in the American League, defeated the National League and enjoyed success by giving a 10-4 lead in the series.
