TV announcers Mel Allen and Vin Scully Radio Mutual Radio announcers Al Helfer and Bob Neal ← 1954 World Series 1956 → The 1955 World Series matched the Brooklyn Dodgers against the New York Yankees, with the Dodgers winning the Series in seven games to capture their first championship in franchise history. It would be the only Series the Dodgers won in Brooklyn, as the team relocated to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. This was the fifth time in nine years that the Yankees and the Dodgers met in the World Series, with the Yankees having won in 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1953 ; the Yankees would also win in the 1956 rematch. This Series also marked the end of a long period of invulnerability for the Yankees in World Series. It was the Yankees ' first loss in a World Series since 1942 and only their second since 1926. While the Yankees were 15 -- 2 in Series appearances during that time, they would lose again in 1957, 1960, 1963, and 1964, for a record of 4 -- 5 in World Series over the next decade.

Carl Furillo homered for Brooklyn and Duke Snider hit his first of the Series, all of which would eventually help establish a new HR record for a seven - game series ( 17 ). Jackie Robinson stole home, but Whitey Ford won with relief help in the ninth from Bob Grim.

New York scored all five runs in the first inning, led by Bill Skowron 's three - run blast. Game 7 Tuesday, October 4, 1955 1 : 00 pm ( ET ) at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York Team 5 6 7 8 9 Brooklyn 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 New York 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 WP : Johnny Podres ( 2 -- 0 ) LP : Tommy Byrne ( 1 -- 1 ) The Dodgers scored one run in the fourth and sixth innings on a single and sac fly, both by Gil Hodges. With runners on first and second and one out, left fielder Sandy Amorós made a dramatic game - saving catch of a deep fly ball down the left field line off the bat of Yogi Berra in the sixth inning, to start a double play. Amorós then threw to Pee Wee Reese and Reese relayed to Gil Hodges, who tagged Yankee Gil McDougald before McDougald could get back to first. This stymied possibly the Yankees ' best chance of the day. Elston Howard grounded out to Reese for the final out ; the two shared the dubious record for playing in the most losing World Series ( six each ). This would be the only time in Jackie Robinson 's career when he did not play in his team 's World Series game. Don Hoak replaced Robinson in the line - up, and played third base. For the first time in Series history, an MVP was selected -- Johnny Podres ( winning Games 3 and 7 ). He was 2 -- 0, with two complete games and an ERA of 1.00, Game 7 was a shutout.
