Brooklyn Dodgers Celebrate Winning The 1955 National League Pennant on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@jimmym2486]

I love baseball history and being allowed via video like this to take a peek into the past, You know from 1947-1966 the Dodgers won 11 pennants and 4 World Championships making them as far as I know the only bicoastal dynasty in sports history

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

Appreciate the Cincinnati Reds organization for allowing the Dodgers the use of the field and lightning to shoot this treasured piece of future baseball history. Love how Ed Sullivan always had time to showcase championship teams on his Sunday night showcase. Reminded me of the 1969 World Championship New York Mets. The Sunday after winning it all, the team went on SULLIVAN to sing YOU GOTTA HAVE HEART...😎🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂

A different story if this was done in SF today.

I grew up as a Mets fan and an Uncle who was an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan! Great memories especially 1969 and I remember them singing on the Ed Sullivan Show! Unbelievable!!

The Greatest Baseball Team in History !!!

I guess the Yankees hadn't clinched the AL pennant yet when this was filmed. Thanks for posting. The Brooklyn Dodgers are my all time favorite team. I was born too late to watch the magic unfold at Ebbets Field.

Announcer is Francis Joseph "Happy" Felton. He was also a bandleader, actor and the host of a TV show, "The Knothole Gang" for young Brooklyn fans.

The Brooklyn Dodgers won the National League championship, or "pennant", in 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956 and they played the American League champion New York Yankees in the World Series each of those years. The only year the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Yankees was in 1955. In 1958 the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.

0:56 A 19-year-old rookie pitcher from Brooklyn named Sandy Koufax being introduced.

Koufax was an bonus baby signing dodgers had to keep him on their roster or they would have lost him to the rule 5 draft hurt him for his early development

Sadly, bat boy Charlie Digiovanna was the first to pass away from this group. He died December 1958 just months after winning $10,000 on Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life” quiz show. Charlie said the money would be a down payment on a house in Long Beach.

Unfortunately 1955 was the year in which the Dodgers won their first and last World Series while based in Brooklyn. At least they won one for Jackie Robinson before he retired as an active player after the 1956 season, and for Pee Wee Reese, who was on the Dodger teams of 1941, '47, '49, '52, '53, '55, and '56, losing the Series each year to the hated crosstown Yankees each time, with the exception of 1955. And another drawback to the Dodgers' World Series appearances is being on the wrong side of the only perfect game in World Series history.
