I hate to ruin the surprise, but the Mick's homer here was the winning run as the Yanks won it all yet again.

I'd lobby for YES to show games like these but I know their incessantly annoying bottom of the screen scoreline would just ruin it.
YES would also want Sterling/Kay to be at the mic more than anything else too. Screw Mel, Barber, Scooter, and the entire MSG Network telecast we want our guys doing it!
Games 6 and 7 of the 1952 World Series are on the mlb.com website and mostly complete. Few complete games telecasts from this era survive. I think ESPN classic once showed this game. The 1952 World Series is one of the greatest ever played and not just the fact that the good guys won. There is also a radio broadcast of a 1936 World series game where the announcer spells out every players name "Mel Ott m-e-l-o-t-t" "Tony Lazzeri t-o-n-y l-a-z-z-e-r-i.
I think the real reason YES as well as ESPN classic refuse to show itemsf before 1990 is they want the 18-35 demographic and these viewers are not interested in stuff that happened before their life, especially if it is in black and white. Few businesses are fans, they just want to make the minimum effort and have viewers just slop up their pablum.
