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.
