		This World Series was surrounded by political puns pitting the "Reds" against the "Yanks".
		The only World Series record set by the Cincinnati Reds was accomplished during Game 4 when Frank Robinson was hit twice by a pitch during a single game.

		The Yankees had also made it to the 1926 World Series (but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games), and this photograph of the 1926 team includes almost the entire 1927 lineup.
		The series was financially and popularly successful, but the arrangement to play was informal, depending only upon an agreement by the teams involved.
		Prompted by the outcry, baseball's National Commission officially established the World Series in 1905.

		New York, which had dismissed Casey Stengel after the '60 Series, was under the guidance of Ralph Houk, former reserve catcher and coach for the Yankees.
		Maris, hitless in 10 Series at-bats after walloping a record 61 home runs (Mantle added 54), led off the ninth against Purkey with a homer into the same sector and suddenly Houk's Yankees were ahead.
		Ford, working on a Series scoreless-inning streak of 27, had his sights set on Babe Ruth's pitching record of 29 consecutive-shutout innings in the fall classic when he took the mound for Game 4.

		The first World Series, in 1903, was a best-of-nine affair arranged by the winners of the NL and the AL and won by the AL's Boston Pilgrims in a 5-3 upset over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
		The 1917 Series was memorable for Giants third baseman Heinie Zimmerman's futile chase to home plate of Eddie Collins as the White Sox took the lead in the Series clincher; neither catcher Lew McCarty nor pitcher Rube Benton covered home.
		The Yankees appeared in their last World Series for the next 12 years in 1964 and lost to the Cardinals, led by Bob Gibson.

	1961 World Series by Baseball Almanac
		The 1961 season witnessed one of the most amazing performances in all of baseball as Yankees teammates Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris went head-to-head for the all-time, single-season homerun record set by another slugger in pinstripes named Babe Ruth.
		Maris, who was hitless in ten Series at-bats led off the ninth and hammered his sixty-second of the year into the same seats as Blanchard.
		As predicted originally, pitching was the determining factor in the '61 Series as Ford, Coates and Daley went twenty-five innings without surrendering a single earned-run.

		The first three games of the World Series the Yankees had a fight on their hands.
		He pitched with the icy competence that is his trademark, and if during his 14 scoreless innings the Red looked tensed, puzzled and generally inept at the plate, credit Ford.
		It may, for that matter, have won the Series too, because after that the Cincinnati team crumpled under the continuing pressure of Yankee power.

	1986 World Series
		The Shea Stadium fans, frenetic but orderly for a change, were on their feet crying for the final blow, and the mounted police were preparing a charge from the bullpen to barricade the field.
		Boston's Marty Barrett, who had tied a Series record in the second inning when he got his 13th hit, was standing at the plate in swirling mists, a ghost of Series past for all those Red Sox fans who have dutifully borne more than their share of suffering.
		There went a season of hope, an incredible escape from defeat in the playoffs and a World Series of such promise (two straight wins at the start) and maybe the last chance for New England fans to believe that it's possible for their team not to bomb in the big ones.

		Despite the Yankees' downfall, Richardson was voted the Series MVP with a performance that included a.367 average, eight runs scored, and 12 runs batted in.
		The 1963 World Series (a four-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers) was perhaps the only Fall Classic of the period where Richardson didn't make a marked contribution with either his glove or bat.

		Thanks to Bonds, Sanders and Glaus, this was the first World Series game in history in which the first three hits were all home runs.

		While Gibson had won 19, 20 and 21 games in the previous three years and was bound for even greater success in the next three seasons, 1967 was in many ways most representative of the man's will to win and his ability to turn that determination into success.
		Forced to settle for 13 regular-season victories for the surprising Cardinals, who raced to a 10 1/2-game victory margin in the National League race, Gibson was ready to shoulder the load in the World Series against an even more upstart aggregation: The Boston Red Sox.
		Gibson was 2-0 thus far in the Series, having allowed only one run and 11 hits in 18 innings; Lonborg also was 2-0, having given up one run and a mere four hits in 18 innings.

		But the World Series of '61 is all but forgotten because the favored Yankees breezed past the Cincinnati Reds, four games to one.
		If the Yankees win the World Series next week, it will probably be forgotten, just like the 1961 Series, in becoming only a footnote to perhaps the most remarkable baseball season ever.

		The series was memorable for the Bronx Bombers for several reasons.

		Also significant is that the Yankees won five consecutive AL pennants beginning in 1960 (1960-1964) and two World Series titles (1961-1962) with Boyer guarding the hot corner.
		It was Ralph Houk, as his manager in 1961 (having succeeded Casey Stengel), who gave back to Clete some of the pride and confidence that had been taken away by Stengel in the 1960 World Series.
		In the 1964 World Series, the Boyer brothers, Clete and Ken (for the St. Louis Cards), appeared on a major league field together for the first time, each playing third base for their team.

		Boston evened the Series, though, when Bill Dinneen threw a three-hitter and Patsy Dougherty walloped two homers in a 3-0 triumph.
		The 3-0 decision was the Red Sox's fourth straight triumph and made the upstart Boston team champion of the First American league-vs. National League World Series.
		Perhaps the main thing about the 1903 Series, though, was that it at least cooled tempers between baseball's warring factions.

		I looked at the rosters that were in the 1961 World Series and both Jay Hook (47) nor Pete Whisenant (27) did not participate in that World Series so I do no think that this would be from the Series.
