The New York Yankees won the 1947 World Series in seven games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Led by Spec Shea, Tommy Henrich, Yogi Berra, and Joe DiMaggio, the Yankees won a thrilling series that featured the first World Series pinch-hit home run (Berra), a pitcher taking a no-hitter into the ninth and then losing the game (Bill Bevens), and a home run rob by Al Gionfriddo that sent the series to a Game Seven.
The Cleveland Indians won the World Series the next year, defeating the Boston Braves in six games.
