The Brooklyn Dodgers were a dominant team in professional baseball in the 1940s and 1950s. They won five NL pennants between the years 1941 and 1953. In each of those five subsequent World Series, (1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953), they lost to the New York Yankees. Although it took the full seven games, finally in 1955, the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in the World Series. Members of that championship squad included Roy Campanella behind the plate and Pee Wee Reese at shortstop, along with Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodge, Duke Snider, and others. The starting pitcher in games three and seven, and the 1955 World Series MVP, was lefty, Johnny Podres, who had posted a 9-10 record, with a 3.96 ERA during the regular season. |
