[edit] Trivia

Murderer's Row had won four consecutive World Series from 1936-1939 championships under manager Joe McCarthy and with this title Casey Stengel became only the second manager in Major League history with four (4) back-to-back championships.

The home run hit by Mickey Mantle during the eighth inning of Game 6 was significant because it was the first of his record eighteen (18) career World Series home runs.

[edit] Quotes of the Series

"Boom. Look out, look out...you needn't look anymore." - Red Barber, after Duke Snider hit himself on the right-field wall at Ebbets Field in Game 7.

"It's a high pop-up...Who's going to get it? Here comes Billy Martin digging hard...and he makes the catch at the last second! How about that!" - Mel Allen, describing Billy Martin's Game 7 catch.
