1954 World Series

The New York Giants swept the Cleveland Indians in what would be their final World Series win in New York. Their next World Series win would occur in, 52 years after relocating to San Francisco. It was the first time the Cleveland Indians had been swept in a World Series. The only highlight for the Indians was that they kept the Yankees from winning their sixth straight series. The last time the Yankees had not won the series or pennant beforehand was 1948, when, again, the Indians kept them out (although that year, they won the Series). It was also the only World Series from to which did not feature the Yankees.
