1949 World Series Game 5: The Yankees Win the World Series!

October 9, 1949

  The New York Yankees have won the 1949 World Series! It was a close Game 5 until the 9th inning when the Brooklyn Dodger fielders forgot defense was also required to win ballgames. New York was ahead 3-1 heading into the 9th on the strength of 2 Tommy Henrich homeruns. The Yankees then scored 6 runs in the top of the 9th, 5 unearned, and went on to win the game 9-3 and the Series 4 games to 1. A tired Joe Page came on in the bottom of the 8th to put down a Brooklyn rally, and gave up 2 inconsequential runs in the 9th while picking up his 3rd save of the Series. Allie Reynolds started for New York and pitched well enough to get his 2nd Win. Pracher Roe started for the Dodgers and suffered his 2nd loss. New York's Tommy Henrich was name World Series MVP. Tommy hit .333 with 4 homeruns and 6 RBI. He had 2 GWRBI in the Series.

1949 World Series Game 4

October 8, 1949

 New York starter Tommy Byrne was effectively wild today leading the Yankees to a 6-3 victory in Game 4 of the 1949 World Series. Byrne walked 9 in the game but gave up only 3 runs on 3 hits. Brooklyn starter Joe Hatten was just plain wild, walking 7 and allowing 2 homeruns in his 4 innings of work.

1949 World Series Game 2

October 6, 1949

  It was a slugfest in Game 2 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium today. When the dust settled it was the Brooklyn Dodgers that came out on top by a lopsided score of 17-7. Similarly to Game 1 after taking an early 3-0 lead, the Brooklyn Dodgers saw the New York Yankees come back with 4 runs in the 4th to grab a 4-3 lead. But in this game the Dodgers didn't lay down. In the 6th inning Brooklyn put 11 runs on the scoreboard. Roy Campanella hit a grand slam homerun and Pee Wee Reese added a 2-run shot in the inning. Even after pitching poorly, Don Newcombe, who was pinch hit for in the 6th, ended up with the Win for Brooklyn. Yankee ace Vic Raschi was hit hard and took the loss. The Series now moves to Brooklyn for the next 3 games tied up 1-1.

laced a one-base hit resulting in a run in the 6th inning, lifted one out of
the park for a two run home run in the 6th inning and doubled in the 8th
inning.  Brooklyn kept the scorekeepers busy in the 6th inning when they had
11 runs on 7 hits.  Brooklyn dominated offensively as they scored in 6
different innings.  
 
Don Newcombe(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 5 innings. Vic
Raschi(0-1) ended up with the loss.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 11 hits
and 2 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.  
 

1949 World Series Game 1

October 5, 1949

 The Brooklyn Dodgers got off to a quick start in Game 1 of the 1949 World Series. Leading off the game, Pee Wee Reese tripled off New York starter Allie Reynolds. The next batter, Gene Hermanski, hit a flyball scoring Reese for 1-0 Dodger lead. But that would be the lone highlight for Brooklyn as the Yankees came roaring back, taking Game 1 by a score of 10-2. After scoring a run in the bottom of the 2nd tying the game, the Yankees put 6 runs on the board in the bottom of the 3rd inning. The big hit was a 3 run homer by Tommy Henrich. Dodger starter Preacher Roe was chased from the game before the 3rd inning was over. Allie Reynolds ran into trouble in the 8th inning when he loaded the bases. Joe Page came in and struck out Duke Snider to end the threat and retired the side in order in the 9th to give New York the victory and 1-0 lead in the World Series.

1949 AL Final Standings

October 3, 1949

  In a closely contested race, the New York Yankees won the 1949 AL Pennant. New York, Boston, and Cleveland dueled for the title throughout the season. The race came down to the final week of the season before New York was able to put Boston behind them for good. New York won with the best pitching in the AL and some very good hitting. Boston had the best hitting in the league and 3rd best pitching. The Cleveland Indians stayed in the race with some excellent pitching (2nd best in the AL). My Detroit Tigers were a bit disappointing, under performing their actual record by 7 games. The Tigers had some very good hitting and a pretty good starting rotation. But their bullpen was terrible. If Detroit's starters didn't go the distance you could pretty much count on them losing the game.
