The 1953 World Series matched the 4-time defending champions New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers in a rematch of the 1952 Series, and the 4th such matchup between the two teams in the past seven seasons. The Yankees won in 6 games for their 5th consecutive title—a mark which has not been equalled—and their 16th overall. Billy Martin recorded his 12th hit of the Series scoring Hank Bauer in Game 6.

AL New York Yankees (4) vs. NL Brooklyn Dodgers (2)

Before a full house of New Yorkers, a four-run first inning put Yankee fans in a good mood right off the bat. Brooklyn starter Carl Erskine didn't last past the first. A pair of triples by Hank Bauer and Billy Martin were the big blows, and the Dodgers pinch-hit for Erskine in the top of the second. They didn't score off Allie Reynolds until the fifth, though, on a Jim Gilliam solo homer. Yogi Berra matched it in the bottom of the fifth with a homer of his own, and the Yankee lead looked safe until homers by Gil Hodges and pinch-hitter George Shuba chased Reynolds in the sixth. Brooklyn tied it an inning later against Johnny Sain with singles by Roy Campanella, Hodges and Carl Furillo. A homer by unsung first baseman Joe Collins proved the game-winner, with winning pitcher Sain providing two more runs himself in the eighth off Ben Wade with a surprise two-base hit.

He looked shaky in the first, walking three and hitting a batter, but Brooklyn's Preacher Roe settled down after that and engaged Eddie Lopat in a complete-game pitching duel. Billy Cox's two-run double in the fourth put the Dodgers up 2-1. Billy Martin's leadoff homer off Roe in the seventh tied the score. The game-winning blast came from Mickey Mantle, a two-run shot to left field in the bottom of the eighth. Brooklyn got two runners aboard in the ninth, but Lopat was able to retire Duke Snider on a game-ending grounder to second base.
