<description>&lt;p&gt;What options do you have when your Game 7 starting pitcher falls ill? For the Milwaukee Braves in 1957, the answer was to call back Lew Burdette from two days&amp;#39; rest to pitch in the winner-takes-all duel against the New York Yankees. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burdette had already pitched two complete games and a shutout in the second. Now the weight of facing the Yankees, who were looking to go back-to-back in the Fall Classic. Meanwhile, the ferocious arm of Don Larsen — who pitched a perfect game in the 1956 World Series — was waiting for the Braves. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the respective MVPs of Hank Aaron and Mickey Mantle in the outfields, joined by Eddie Matthews and Yogi Berra offering back-up, the 1957 Series brings action, tension, and stars together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bob Neale and Earl Gillespie are behind the radio microphones from Yankee Stadium. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA195710100.shtml &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This game was played on October 10, 1957.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
