It's World Series time!
In honor of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees meeting for the 12th time in the Fall Classic, let's go back to 1947 for Game 1 of the then Brooklyn Dodgers taking on the Yanks.
-----------------------------------
With the Dodgers' Jackie Robinson having broke baseball's color barrier earlier that year, this was the first ever integrated World Series. Also, it was the first Fall Classic to appear on broadcast television, albeit limited to a handful of markets in the New York state area.
