It would be the only Series the Dodgers won in Brooklyn, as the team relocated to Los Angeles after the 1957 season . This was the fifth time in nine years that the Yankees and the Dodgers met in the World Series, with the Yankees having won in 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1953; the Yankees would also win in the 1956 rematch . </P> <P> This Series also marked the end of a long period of invulnerability for the Yankees in World Series . It was the Yankees' first loss in a World Series since 1942 and only their second since 1926 . While the Yankees were 15--2 in Series appearances during that time, they would lose again in 1957, 1960, 1963, and 1964, for a record of 4--5 in World Series over the next decade . </P>
