Don Larsenโ€™s only perfect game in World Series history was in Game 5, Monday, October 8, 1956.

This was the final Series for the Dodgers while still in Brooklyn. Their next Series appearance came after moving to Los Angeles.

The Dodgers scored only one run in the final twenty-eight innings of the Series.

Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra each hit three home runs for the Yankees.
