Brooklyn Dodger fans celebrate NL Pennant
The Dodger organization has been around for well over 100 years, yet no Dodger team ever won more games in a regular season than the 1953 squad. The 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers won 105 games and lost just 49. Manager Chuck Dressen’s team was led by Duke Snider and Roy Campanella who hit 42 and 41 home runs, respectively, Carl Furillo who batted .344, Carl Erskine who won 20 games, and many other stars such as Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges. The Dodgers easily won the National League Pennant by a 13-game margin over the 2nd place Milwaukee Braves. However, there would be no happy ending in 1953 as the “Bums” lost to their cross-town rival Yankees 4 games to 2 in the World Series. It was yet another case of “wait ‘til next year” for the Dodgers and their loyal fans throughout Brooklyn.
