The 1941 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers , with the Yankees winning in five games to capture their fifth title in six years, and their ninth overall. The name " Subway Series " arose for a World Series played between two New York City teams. The series was punctuated by the Dodgers' Mickey Owen 's dropped third strike of a sharply breaking Curveball (a suspected Spitball ) pitched by Hugh Casey in the 9th inning of Game 4. The play led to a Yankees rally and brought them one win away from another championship. The Yankees were back after a one-year hiatus, having won thirteen (13) of their last fourteen (14) Series games and twenty-eight (28) of their last thirty-one (31) games in the World Series . This was the first Subway Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees, who had already faced the crosstown New York Giants five times, and the Series was now 1-0 in favor of the Bronx Bombers. These two teams would meet a total of seven (7) times from 1941-1956 - the Dodgers' only victory coming in 1955 .
