From arguably the most celebrated team in baseball history, we have World Series programs that all feature New York Yankees Championships. Seven programs are included, with a pair for the 1949 Series, a pair for 1950 and three for 1951. The 1949 Series against the Dodgers would go five games, while the Phillies would be swept by NY the following year in 1950. The ’51 Series would go six games, with the New York Giants advancing to the Fall Classic beating Brooklyn in a three-game playoff won on the legendary Bobby Thompson home run that would become known as the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World”.
