Mickey Mantle and the New York Yankees get ready to face the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Sereis starting October 3rd at Ebbets Field.   

The Yankees would win their 17th world championship and give us the true fall classic in game 5.  This was Don Larsen's MVP performance with the only perfect game in baseball postseason history.  Larsen won game 5 2-0 but the Yankees would need 7 games to finally dispatch the Dodgers.
