Leo Durocher again substantially exceeded his Pyth, this time by 6 games. In 1951 it was 5 but that was with sign stealing, which supposedly had stopped. Chuck Dressen overcame the 1951 collapse and won the pennant but Casey Stengel led the Yankees to their fourth consecutive World Series championship. The Yanks won games 6 and 7 in Ebbets Field led my Mantle.
Only 30,037 fans showed up to see the Dodgers try to close out the WS in game 6. Note the attendance for all the games. Fewer fans at games 6 and 7 than at games 1 and 2. All were weekdays.
