Umpires: (NL: outfield only) At the direction of Commissioner Happy Chandler , six umpires were used in the Series for the first time. In Series from 1918 through 1946, four umpires were used in the infield, with two alternates available for emergencies; however, no alternate had ever been needed, and Chandler believed they would be better used to make calls along the outfield lines. However, not until 1964 would the additional two umpires rotate into the infield during the course of the Series. In Game 4, The Cookie Game , Yankee pitcher Bill Bevens was one out away from pitching a No-hitter , when Brooklyn's Cookie Lavagetto lined a base hit in the 9th inning, bringing home 2 runs for a miraculous 3-2 victory for the Dodgers. Television: NBC This was the first World Series to be shown on Television . Coverage was limited to New York City and surrounding environs. It was also the first World Series involving a nonwhite player, as Jackie Robinson had racially integrated Major League Baseball at the beginning of the 1947 season.
