MVP:
Larry Sherry
Why the Dodgers won: Larry Sherry was brilliant in high-pressure relief, figuring in the decision in all four victories with two wins and a pair of saves.
Why the White Sox lost: Manager Al Lopez didn't start Sox veteran Billy Pierce at all but started 39-year-old ace Early Wynn on short rest in Game 6. Wynn took the loss.
Memorable moment: The first pitch of Game 3 marked the start of the first Series game to be played west of St. Louis.
Key stat: 2. Chuck Essegian hit just one homer for the Dodgers in '59 but hit two as a pinch-hitter to set a WS record.
