Dodgers World Series triumph marked by Podres and clutch defense
In a 1955 World Series clincher Brooklyn edged New York 9 3 behind a stellar performance by 23 year old pitcher Clem Labine and a sharp defense. The Dodgers scored two early runs, capitalizing on a Yankee error, and Campanella fueled the offense with a double and Hodges added an RBI single as Skowron’s miscue sealed the win. Reese’s strong fielding capped the moment as Brooklyn became the first club to win a seven game series after trailing 0 2. The victory drew a record 2 367 515 34 in receipts.
