1955 World Series Highlights | Brooklyn Dodgers vs New York Yankees

[@YamaMX]

Congratulations to the 2024 Dodgers, winning it at Yankee Stadium like our beloved 1955 team. Happy to say I flew in and was at the Game 5 clincher bringing the Brooklyn spirit for the generations before us. I’ll never forget this day. ❤

Until I saw the highlight film several years ago I had no idea how far Amoros had to run to get that ball. With Berra being a pull hitter, Sandy was way over in left center--on the other side of the LF bullpen! Great play.

It was the sixth inning of the decisive Game 7 of the 195 World Series when manager Walter Alston sent the left-handed Sandy Amorós into the game and moved the right-handed throwing Jim Gilliam from left field to second base, replacing Don Zimmer. What a choice! Amorós’ glove on the right hand may have changed to outcome.

[@kevinmiller6380]

John Morris-It DID change the outcome. The Dodgers never WOULD have won a World Series while based in Brooklyn had it not been for Alston's genius move.

As a Red Sox fan, the Dodgers were always our surrogates in those WS contests with New York (we don't say Yankees). The Bums had an amazing team in '55 and Podres was shut-down in Game 7. Jackie Robinson was out at home, however in that attempted steal. Berra had his glove down before Robinson's cleat touched the plate. Bill Summers had an obstructed view, crouched behind the plate behind Berra.

[@dhowa862]

jackie robinson was definitely out lol

How do you manage 136 thumbs up when the sections are out of order?

[@YamaMX]

Lance Baker they aren’t out of order, it’s just the positive Dodgers highlights one by one through out the series. When the innings drop it’s the next game. This is a reupload of my original upload, over 10 years old when there were no 1955 highlights on KZbin.

Robinson was deader than a doornail at home!What a terrible call!But Im still glad Brooklyn won.

[@robbybonfire9944]

He may have gotten his foot under the tag. If you look closely, Yogi did not put the glove with the ball in it on the turf. Anyway, a tie goes to the runner at HP and all bases, in baseball. This was at least a tie.

Don't know why I became a Yankees fans and not a Dodgers one, but I still remember seeing the abandoned Ebbets Field from the Botanical Gardens before it was torn down. There's a different angle of the Robinson steal showing it from a third base angle. Makes him look definitely safe unless you think his toe slid around the plate. To be debated for another fifty years.

This was the year Emmett Till was brutally beaten and brutally murdered by the Bryant brothers in a neighboring town to Money Mississippi where Emmett was dragged into a plantation and beaten to a bloody pulp and shot in the head where the bullet went directly through his head and out, his body was in such bad shape after the brutal beating that was all caused by Mr Bryant’s wife whom falsely claimed that Emmett inappropriately whistled to her for sexism which all was untrue and she admitted that she made that claim up in 2008. After the brutal assault of Emmett Till the Bryant brothers tied a 75 pound cotton gin fan around Emmett’s neck to strangle him to death and they disposed of his body into a nearby river possibly the Mississippi River and it was believed that he was dumped off the Black Bayou Bridge and was dragged by the current of the water for 2 miles. One very steep area which has a great spot for fishing about 2 miles south of the Black Bayou Bridge was believed is where Emmett Till’s lifeless body was discovered and recovered from the water. It was believed that two fishermen found his dead body in the river and they recovered him from it. At another location outside Money was where Emmett was being prepared to be shipped all the way back up to Chicago to have his funeral. His grand uncle wanted to have Emmett’s funeral at the church where he preached. Emmett’s mother wanted people to see what the Bryant brothers did to her son by totaling his head completely to make it unrecognizable. The Bryant brothers were tried in court a few weeks later but a white jury and judge were in court that day and so because it was a white court trial they found them not guilty of the murder and they couldn’t be retried because they think just because the witnesses and the victim’s family were black that there was no evidence to prove that they were guilty of the crime and it sounded like that the judge found them not guilty so they can go murder more black people because this was a time that there was still segregation and racism and discrimination against blacks even though there was a civil war and also that it sounded like a lot of northern blacks were accused of causing trouble which is highly untrue, so the act law was passed recently to end discrimination and lynching. Unfortunately hate crimes are still going around because people can’t seem to accept that the law against discrimination exists but the haters still want to be discriminative against people of a different race such as a white person discriminating an asian person or even a black person which I’m highly appalled at these people that don’t care about the law against racism and discrimination and think it’s totally cool to do such an evil deed like that. If you’re of a different race and you were discriminated and was called very racial slurs I stand with you and I will not tolerate any kind of racism and discrimination and segregation because it’s not fair for anyone to be treated like that. Racism even happened in 1991 against Rodney King as well as July 17th 2014 against Eric Garner on May 25th 2020 against George Floyd and even one against another black person all because of their skin color and their race. I’m so sorry for all you people that are being traumatized by very racist people out there even I was racially discriminated all because I’m part spanish and they called me a racial slur for a spanish person even though I’m spanish I’m not gonna say it. I was also discriminated all because of my learning disability by my teachers and staff and it was highly inappropriate for them to commit such an act that got me kicked out of school and also excluded from any event that my district had planned.
