Baseball: Giants' Flying Scot dies

Bobby Thomson, who hit one of baseball's most famous home runs, the "shot heard round the world" that won the 1951 National League pennant for the New York Giants against the Brooklyn Dodgers, has died at the age of 86.

Thomson had been in declining health. The 15-year major leaguer, nicknamed the "Flying Scot", was born in Glasgow, and moved to Staten Island aged 2.
