New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers meet for 12th time in a Broadway-meets-Sunset Boulevard World Series
Brooklyn Dodgers ' Jackie Robinson safely steals home under the tag of New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra as pinch-hitter Frank Kellert looks on in the eighth inning of the World Series opener at New York's Yankee Stadium on Sept. 28, 1955.
Mullin also gave them cartoon images – a down-and-out but very proud Brooklyn Bum shuffling along with a ragtag wardrobe and a high-and-mighty New York Yankee, strutting around with his chest out, celebrating his dominance of baseball. But Game 4 was the most memorable of this Series because Bill Bevens, a marginal Yankees pitcher who won just seven games during the season, flirted with the first no-hitter in World Series history.
Brooklyn responded with its own 1-0 victory in Game 2, with Preacher Roe outdueling Vic Raschi. Game 3 was tied 1-1 into the ninth inning when the Yankees scored three times and then hung on for a 4-3 victory. Brooklyn was on the ropes and New York moved in for the kill, besting Newcombe again in Game 4 and then charging to a 10-1 lead in Game 5 and hanging on for a 10-6 victory in the clincher.
After a year off, the Subway Series resumed in 1955 and finally after five tries, Brooklyn defeated the Yankees. The Dodgers also became the first team in Series history to drop the first two games and recover to capture the title. The star was left-hander Johnny Podres, who won Game 3 to start the Dodgers recovery and Game 7 to clinch the title.
