[edit] Trivia
- Murderer's Row had won four consecutive World Series from 1936-1939 championships under manager Joe McCarthy and with this title Casey Stengel became only the second manager in Major League history with four (4) back-to-back championships.
- The home run hit by Mickey Mantle during the eighth inning of Game 6 was significant because it was the first of his record eighteen (18) career World Series home runs.
