On October 6, 1941, the New York Yankees concluded the Major League Baseball season by defeating the Brooklyn Dodgers 3–1 in the final game of that year’s World Series. It was a Fall Classic short on offense— both teams combined for only twenty-eight runs in five games—but certainly not short on drama.
