1955 – "This is Next Year!"

The Brooklyn Dodgers had never won a World Series, and their defiant rallying cry after each disappointment (usually at the hands of the Yankees) was, "Wait 'til next year!" In 1955, next year miraculously appeared as "The Boys of Summer" finally defeated their rivals in the World Series.

Brooklyn put four future Hall-of-Famers; Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and PeeWee Reese on the field. The pitching staff, though not dominant, was capable and led by Don Newcombe. Hall of fame manager Walter Alston led the Dodgers. On the spring roster were three young pitchers who all made their mark with Hall-of-Fame careers; Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, and Tom LaSorda.

Elsewhere in the National League, Willie Mays hit 51 homers to pace the league.

The Yankees featured Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Hank Bauer, and Bill Skowron. Whitey Ford and Bob Turley led the pitching staff.

The Series was hard-fought, but in the 7th game, Johnny Podres shut out the Yanks and the Dodgers were champions.
