Dodgers Video: Jackie Robinson Appears In Rare Footage From 1956 World Series At Ebbets Field

The 1956 World Series featured arguably the two most historic franchises in Major League Baseball in the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees.

The Dodgers were coming off the organization’s first World Series win in 1955, which they defeated the Yankees to earn, but they unfortunately were not able to repeat as they fell to their rivals in seven games.

It was a competitive series though as the Dodgers won the first two games at Ebbets Field before dropping three straight to put themselves in a hole. They returned home for Games 6 and 7 though, and although they were able to pull out one victory, they were defeated 9-0 in a heartbreaking Game 7 to drop the series.

Some rare color footage of the series, which featured Dodgers star Jackie Robinson was recently released, via MLBcathedrals:

While the 1956 Dodgers had a Hall of Fame manager in Walter Alston in addition to stars like Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Pee Wee Reese, and Duke Snider, that was not enough to get past Casey Stengel’s Yankees team that featured Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle and Enos Slaughter.

Yankees pitcher Don Larsen was named MVP after not allowing an earned run in 10.2 innings in the series, including the only perfect game in World Series history in Game 5.

The Dodgers were able to return to and win the World Series in 1959 after moving to L.A., the second of five in organization history.
The Dodgers played at Ebbets Field from 1913-1957, before they decided to move to Los Angeles. Ebbets Field featured an 80-foot rotunda with an Italian marble floor, chandelier, coat check rooms, and seats designed to give fans an experience similar to visiting a theater.

More seats were installed after the 1931, ’37 and ’47 seasons, and the 1956 World Series featured crowds of 33,000 or more for all four games at the stadium.
