Frank Kellert

Wednesday 28th September 1955
The Yanks win the first game of the WS, as Whitey Ford beats Don Newcombe, 6-5. In a controversial play with Frank Kellert at bat, Jackie Robinson steals home in the 8th to bring the Dodgers to within a run of a tie. Films later disclose that Robinson is out by a whisker, but Yankee catcher Yogi Berra actually balked on the play, receiving Whitey Ford's pitch before Kellert could swing at it.
