The dog of the 1951 Dodgers v. Giants series to decide the champion of the National League was Ralph Branca. He gave up the homer to Bobby Thomson and forever cemented his spot in baseball history, on the wrong side. Here he is seen looking optimistic, shortly before tragedy for him and the Dodgers. Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption.
