In Game 5 of the 1956 World Series, Gil Hodges led off the top of the fifth inning for the Dodgers.&nbsp; On a 2-2 count, Hodges hit a scorching line drive to deep left center field.&nbsp; Mickey took off at top speed running&nbsp; back and to is right toward left center field.&nbsp; In the middle of his gait, just as the ball was about to sail past him, he reached up across his body and speared the ball backhanded for a tremendous running catch, which robbed Hodges of an extra-base hit and preserved Larsen&amp;#8217;s perfect game.&nbsp;
