1955-Sep-28 World Series Game 1 Yankee Stadium - The Brooklyn Dodgers were trailing by two runs in the eighth inning when Jackie Robinson broke for home and was ruled to have beat the tag from Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra. Robinson’s sprint started when Yankees left-hander Whitey Ford went into his delivery. Robinson slid into the plate and was immediately called safe by home-plate umpire Bill Summers, which left Berra incensed. New York won the game 6-5
Berra emphatically protested the call and harbored that frustration for years to come. Up until his death, Berra declared Robinson was out at home.
