1955 Brooklyn Dodgers W.S. Champs Team Signed Baseball Jackie Robinson JSA COA

During a run of seven seasons, from 1947 through 1953, the Brooklyn Dodgers were undeniably one of the best teams in all of Major League Baseball. Unfortunately, they didn't have a single World Series title to show for it at the time. The Dodgers made it to the Fall Classic in 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1953, only to fall short of the ultimate prize each time. What was even more frustrating was the fact that on each of these occasions, the Dodgers were beaten by cross-town rivals New York Yankees, with the Series twice going the full seven games. At long last, and with great relief to all of their fans, the Dodgers finally crossed the finish line in 1955, reaching baseball's summit after an epic seven-game World Series victory. Their opponent? Naturally, the Yankees.
