1949 World Series Game 5 Part 1Baseball
Historian presents The 1949 World Series featured the New York Yankees
and the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the Yankees winning in five games for
their second defeat of the Dodgers in three years, and the 12th
championship in team history. This victory would start a record run of
five consecutive World Series championships by the Yankees.History
was made in the 9th inning of Game 5, when the Ebbets Field lights were
turned on, making it the first World Series game finished under
artificial lights. The first scheduled Series night game would not be
held until 1971.
Please note: many of these broadcasts were originally preserved onto
vinyl and are over 50 years old, so the audio quality does vary... but
the historical significance & baseball action does not!
