Excerpts from game 4 of the 1964 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY. Ken Boyer's sixth-inning grand slam home run brought the Cardinals back from a 3-0 deficit for a 4-3 Cardinal win, to even the series at two games apiece. The Cardinals would go on to win the Fall Classic in seven games. Note: This is the first time the NBC television network would use sportscaster Curt Gowdy to do play-by-play of the series. He's joined by Cardinal announcer Harry Caray. Long time Yankee announcer Mel Allen was dropped from World Series play-by-play by NBC following the 1963 World Series when he would broadcast baseball's premier event for the final time.
