1949 World Series

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 12^th 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 9^th 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.

Both teams finished the regular season with the exact same records and winning their respective leagues by exactly one game.
