Brooklyn Dodger pitcher Ralph Branca allowed the home run by Bobby Thomson of the New York Giants Baseball team that won the 1951 pennant for the Giants.
As a Dodger fan who wasn't even alive in 1951 (my mother had just borne my older brother), even I cringe every time I hear the call for Bobby Thomson's home run in that year.

Although breaking the hearts of Brooklynites by moving the team to Los Angeles in 1958 Dodger enthusiasts still pine for their team, and have made Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia some of the most sought after in the hobby. This would be one reason why Brooklyn Dodger Yearbooks sell higher than Yearbooks from other team yearbooks from the same era. If that is what you mean by "other yearbooks?" The 1954 Brooklyn Dodger yearbook is not the most expensive of all the Dodger yearbooks. ( $175.00 -- $250.00) The 1942 Brooklyn Dodger Yearbook (The Dodger Victory Book) is harder to find than the first issue of 1941, and sells between $450.-$600. In 1955 the Brooklyn Dodgers won the NL Pennant, and then Dem' Bums went on to beat the Yankees in the World Series Making the 1955 the second hardest issue to find, and sell between $250.00 -- $400.00. The 1951 issue marks the first appearance of "Da Bum" drawing by Famous Sporting News artist/illustrator Willard Mullin. The issues between 1951-1957 all feature the work of Willard Mullin. There are collectors that will buy these issues for that fact alone. For more information on Brooklyn Dodger yearbooks, price guide, and images of the cover art by Willard Mullin. visit the Brooklyn Dodger Yearbooks link I have provided.
That would be Dodger shortstop Harold "Pee Wee" Reese.
