- Description
- This program is from a New York Yankees home game in the 1950 World Series. Facing the Philadelphia Phillies, the Yankees easily defended their championship from the previous year, sweeping the series 4-0. It would be the second of five consecutive World Series victories for the powerhouse team, whose roster included such future Hall-of-Famers as catcher Yogi Berra, outfielder Joe Dimaggio, shortstop Phil Rizzutto, and pitcher Whitey Ford.
- The young 1950 Phillies squad, known as “the Whiz Kids” achieved the National League pennant behind the pitching of Robin Roberts and National League Most Valuable Player Jim Konstanty. It was the teams first World Series appearance since 1915.
- I950 would be the last World Series in which no non-white players took the field , as neither team had yet integrated since the abolishment of baseball’s color barrier in 1947.
