The Brooklyn Dodgers fans LOVED their team through thick and thin in the 1950s
BROOKLYN DODGERS WIN THEIR FIRST SERIES IN 1955 After years of losing to their cross town rivals, The Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers finally beat the Yanks in 7 games to capture the World Series in 1955. Winners of 98 games in the regular season, the Dodgers were led by 20 game winner Don Newcombe, Player of the year Duke Snyder, NL-MVP Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges, and Carl Furillo. Duke Snyder became the key to the power-laden lineup of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1950s culminating in a career year in 1955, the first World Series championship ever for the Dodgers. Referred to as the "Duke" of Flatbush and often compared to cross town rival center fielders Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, 1955 was the year Duke dominated the headlines and won The Sporting News Player of the Year, the most prestigious award a player could win then.

Southern Cal scored 49 unanswered points in the second half to defeat Notre Dame in 1974
Southern Cal Roars Back November 30, 1974 Southern Cal 55 Notre Dame 24 Attendance 92,516 Disbelief is the only word I can use to describe what I saw on the sunlit grassy backdrop yesterday afternoon at the Coliseum. The Fighting Irish dominated all but the last minute of the first half, roaring to a 24-0 lead. The Trojans Pat Haden hit Anthony Davis on a short touchdown pass with 10 seconds to go in the opening half to begin the most exhilarating 17 minutes of football I and I am sure everyone in attendance have ever witnessed. Anthony Davis took the opening kickoff of the second half 102 yards for a touchdown and the Trojans went on to score 28 more points in the quarter as part of a 55 unanswered-point run over less than a 17 - minute span. Four Anthony Davis touchdowns and four Pat Haden touchdown passes were a significant part of this historic game that is now one day old and already assured of infamy. "I knew we had it won when we passed them," Davis said. "They were a crumbling team. I could see it in their eyes, `We turned into madmen.' And that's what we did. We turned into maniacs." Final score USC routed Notre Dame 55-24. But the final score and the fact Notre Dame lost, was clearly overshadowed by the sheer pounding and overwhelming dominance of that 17 - minute fury. As a sportswriter, I am speechless, what more can I say. "If people don't know how good the Trojans are, I think they found out today," said Davis. Clearly an understatement.
