The Baseball-Almanac refers to this series as "The Season of Change", as it was the last series for Joe DiMaggio, but the first for Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Despite the fact that the Giants won the opener 5-1, the Yanks would win the series in six games. After winning 14 World Series titles, the Yanks would start a "second dynasty" in 1951. Great players on both teams included Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Sal Maglie, and Bobby Thompson. (truncated)
