Customer Reviews of MLB: 1955 World Series - Brooklyn Dodgers vs. New York Yankees
In 1955 it was finally "next year" for the fans of Flatbush When the Brooklyn Dodgers faced the New York Yankees in the 1955 World Series it was their sixth meeting in 15 years and when the Dodgers dropped the first two games at Yankee Stadium it sure seemed like the results would going to be the same as they had been all of those previous times. After all, no team had ever lost the first two games of a seven-game Series and come back to win. The hero ended up being 23-year-old left handed pitcher Johnny Podres, who mixed his fastball and change of pace to win Game 3 and then came back to shutout the Yankees 2-0 in the deciding game. Whitey Ford won games 1 and 6 for New York. The signature play of the series was when left-handed leftfielder Sandy Amoros caught a slicing fly ball off the bat of Yogi Berra and turned it into a game-saving double play. The two teams combined for a (then) record of 17 home runs with Duke Snider blasting four round trippers; Mickey Mantle only had one and was kept out of most of the games by a bad leg. Gil Hodges drove in both of the runs in the finale. The home team won the first six of the seven games in the Series. This video of the "1955 World Series: Brooklyn Dodgers v. New York Yankees" runs about 41-minutes. Obviously so those die-hard Brooklyn fans, traumatized by their beloved Bums leaving the borough for Los Angeles two years later, this video recalls the greatest moment in franchise history (okay, second greatest besides signing Jackie Robinson, who stole home in Game 1, but I am a Yankee fan and prejudiced).
