The 1952 World Series featured the three-time defending champion New York Yankees beating the Brooklyn Dodgers in seven games. The Yankees won their fourth straight title—tying the mark they set between 1936 and 1939 under manager Joe McCarthy, and Casey Stengel became the second manager in Major League history with four (4) consecutive championships. It was the fifteenth championship in the Yankees' history, and the third defeat of the Dodgers in six years.
In Game 7, the Yankees' second baseman Billy Martin made a game-saving catch. Also, the home run hit by Mickey Mantle during the eighth inning of Game 6 was significant because it was the first of his record eighteen (18) career World Series home runs.

[edit] Series quotes
Boom. Look out, look out...you needn't look anymore.
— Red Barber, after Duke Snider hit himself on the right-field wall at Ebbets Field in Game 7.
It's a high pop-up...Who's going to get it? Here comes Billy Martin digging hard...and he makes the catch at the last second! How about that!
—Mel Allen, describing Billy Martin's Game 7 catch.
