  2. This one really has me stumped. 

    The season ended on 9/26/54 with the Yankees winning 103 games and finishing 8 games behind the Cleveland Indians, who won 111 games (in a 154 game season).

    The Indians met the Giants in the World Series and lost 4 games to 0.

    What have I missed, Checkmate?

  4. Any special moments in 1955?   

    I do know that the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Yankees in the World Series 4 games to 3.

    Were you a Dodger fan?

    Dick, thanks for the article about baseball’s ten best moments.

    You included my favorite video of the catch by Willie Mays.

    He was my favorite player.

  6. You are very welcome, Barry.

    I'm a Chicago Cubs fan and waited 108 years to see them win a World Series in 2016, but when I think of all the great players I was able to see at Wrigley Field in Chicago, I have to admit that "The Say Hey Kid", Willie Mays was the greatest ballplayer I ever saw. There wasn't anything he couldn't do !

  7. Now it all makes sense.

    I remember the 1955 Series well.

    I was in 3rd grade and the Principal stopped classes and all of a sudden, she allowed the game to be heard over the loudspeaker.

    After all the Yankee wins, the Brooklyn "bums" did it !

    Being a National league fan (Cubs), it was a dream come true ! Someone finally beat the mighty Yankees!

    Here's a little memory for you !

  8. The greatest MLB moment was when NOBODY kneeled before, during, or after the Star-Bangled Banner and did NOT dis-respect the USA
