Action photograph from Game Seven of the 1955 World Series, a subway series contest between two New York City teams - the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Depicts Brooklyn Dodgers catcher Roy Campanella throwing down his bat as he takes off to beat out his grounder, while New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra prepares to back up the play at first. Umpire Jim Honochick stands behind the players watching the play. Taken from behind the plate, the photograph is tightly focused on the three men. It captures them in a row from left to right - umpire, catcher and batter - from behind and silhouetted against the crowded stands at Yankee Stadium.
