‘62 Dodgers, Giants Will Play It Again

The 1962 San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers, who were involved in a three-game playoff to decide the National League pennant that year, will renew their rivalry in a benefit baseball game Feb. 8 in Phoenix, promoters announced.

Among the players tentatively scheduled to play in “Dream Game ‘87” at Phoenix Municipal Stadium are Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Don Drysdale, Sandy Kofax, Juan Marichal and Duke Snider. Others include Maury Wills, Gaylord Perry, Orlando Cepeda, Tommy Davis, Ron Fairly, Frank Howard, Harvey Kuenn, Felipe Alou, Matty Alou, Willie Davis, Wally Moon, Stu Miller, Mike McCormick, Johnny Podres and Manny Mota.

The 1962 Giants beat the Dodgers, 6-4, in the decisive third game of their playoff series, but San Francisco then lost the World Series to the New York Yankees in seven games.
