The 1954 World Series: Giants Sweep Indians; Mays' Amazing Catch

Below is a newsreel roundup of the 1954 World Series, in which the Giants, led by pinch-hitter par excellence Dusty Rhodes and steady veteran outfielder Don Mueller, swept the mighty Cleveland Indians, winners of a record-setting 111 games during the regular season. Except for Vic Wertz, who was robbed by Mays with that spectacular grab in the eighth inning of Game 1, none of the Indians could touch the Giants pitchers; the Indians batted .190 in the short series. They had punched out a .262 average during the regular season.
