What is 1955 World Series?
The '''1955 World Series''' was played between the [[Brooklyn Dodgers]] and the [[New York Yankees]]. The Dodgers won the Series in seven games. This was their first [[championship]] in team history. It would be the only Series the Dodgers won in Brooklyn. The team moved to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. The last time the [[Brooklyn]] team won a World Championship was in 1900.

The Yankees were 15-2 in the series during that time. They would lose again in 1957, 1960, 1963, and 1964. The Yankees would have a record of 4-5 in World Series over the next decade. The two teams were meeting in a World Series for the fifth time in nine years. The Yankees had won in 1947, 1949, 1952 and 1953.
