Episode 382 - Next Year Finally Comes To Brooklyn

from This Week In Baseball History · host Mike Bates and Bill Parker

The decades of baseball in Brooklyn were mostly marked by one failure after another until the club got their act together in the 1940s. Still, the Dodgers seemed uniquely capable of breaking their fans' hearts until 70 years ago this week, when they finally beat the Yankees to claim their one and only World Series in their original home. That moment in the sun was all too brief, however, as they'd pack up and move to the West Coast just two years later. This week, Mike and Bill look back at that one perfect moment in Brooklyn, when all seemed right with the world and the Dodgers were finally world champs. Plus, happy birthday to Eddie Murphy and Johnny Podres! And farewell to Bill Denehy and Bobby Jenks.
