1953 World Series

The 1953 World Series matched the four-time defending champion New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers in a rematch of the 1952 Series. The Yankees won in six games for their fifth straight title – a mark which has not been equalled – and their 16th overall. Billy Martin recorded his 12th hit of the series scoring Hank Bauer in Game 6.

Although the Yankees won the Series, Brooklyn pitcher Carl Erskine set a Series record by striking out 14 Yankees in Game 2 (a record which has since been broken).

Umpires: Bill Grieve (AL), Bill Stewart (NL), Eddie Hurley (AL), Artie Gore (NL), Hank Soar (AL: outfield only), Frank Dascoli (NL: outfield only)
