1956 Subway Series: A Perfect Ride

October 1, 1956  Arthur Daley

With the first Subway Series in 44 years upon us, CNNSI.com looks back at the last time two New York teams battled for the world championship. Our gallery features key figures from the 1956 matchup in which Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in postseason history and the New York Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers, four games to three. Excerpts from Sports Illustrated's Oct. 15, 1956 story "The Curtain Rises," by Robert Creamer accompany the images. Click on any photo to enter.
