Why the Yankees won: Mickey Mantle (.345, 1.061 OPS) had a great Fall Classic, but 39-year-old Johnny Mize, who'd hit only four HRs in 78 games, was 6-for-15 (.400) with three home runs.
Why the Dodgers lost: They returned to Ebbets Field with a 3-2 lead, but several failed offensive chances over the final two games led to their demise.
Memorable moment: With the bases loaded late in Game 7, Yankees second baseman Billy Martin hustled to catch Jackie Robinson's infield popup only inches off the ground to preserve a 4-2 lead.
Key stat: 21. The number of at-bats for the Dodgers' Gil Hodges, who went hitless for the Series.
