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.

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.
