The 1956 World Series featured arguably the two most historic franchises in Major League Baseball in the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees.
The Dodgers were coming off the organization’s first World Series win in 1955, which they defeated the Yankees to earn, but they unfortunately were not able to repeat as they fell to their rivals in seven games.
It was a competitive series though as the Dodgers won the first two games at Ebbets Field before dropping three straight to put themselves in a hole. They returned home for Games 6 and 7 though, and although they were able to pull out one victory, they were defeated 9-0 in a heartbreaking Game 7 to drop the series.
