The '''1957 World Series''' featured the defending champion [[New York Yankees]] of the [[American League]] playing against the [[Milwaukee Braves]] of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]]. After finishing just one game behind the N.L. Champion [[Brooklyn Dodgers]] in 1956, the Braves came back in 1957 to win their first [[Pennant (sports)|pennant]] since moving from [[Boston]] in 1953. The Braves won the Series in seven games, behind [[Lew Burdette]]'s three complete game victories. The Braves would be the only team besides the Yankees, Dodgers, or [[History of the New York Giants (baseball)|Giants]] to win a [[World Series]] title in the 1950s.

The Yankees had home field advantage in the series. Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 were played at [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]], while [[Milwaukee County Stadium]] hosted Games 3, 4, and 5. This was the first time since [[1946 World Series|1946]] that the Series included scheduled off days after Games 2 and 5.

Of the previous ten World Series, the Yankees had participated in eight of them and won seven. This was also the first World Series since [[1948 World Series|1948]] that a team from New York did not win.

This is the first of four Yankees-Braves matchups, and the only Series that was won by the Braves; they lost in {{wsy|1958}}, {{wsy|1996}} and {{wsy|1999}}, with the last two instances occurring with the Braves based in [[Atlanta]].

[[Hank Aaron]] led all regulars with a .393 average and 11 hits, including a triple, three home runs and seven RBI.

Milwaukee’s victory marked the first Wisconsin pro championship won by a team other than the [[Green Bay Packers]].

In the third inning, the [[Yankees]] replaced first baseman [[Bill Skowron]], who was complaining of back pain, with [[Elston Howard]]. In the fifth inning the Braves had a runner in scoring position after an [[error (baseball)|error]] by Howard. The Braves did not manage to capitalize on this opportunity, as [[second baseman]] [[Red Schoendienst]] [[ground ball|grounded]] out. By the end of the fifth inning, the Braves had left four men on base, with the game still scoreless.

The Yankees broke through that inning with a leadoff single by [[Jerry Coleman]], followed by two [[ground ball|ground outs]] which moved the runner to third base, and then a [[triple (baseball)|triple]] by [[slugging percentage|slugger]] [[Hank Bauer]] made the score 1–0. After three consecutive batters reached first base in the Yankees' half of the sixth inning, and a run scored on [[Andy Carey]]'s single, Milwaukee [[manager (baseball)|manager]] Fred Haney pulled starter [[Warren Spahn]] and replaced him with [[Ernie Johnson (pitcher)|Ernie Johnson]].

The Yankees scored once more in the sixth inning when Coleman executed a [[squeeze play (baseball)|squeeze play]], allowing [[Yogi Berra]] to score from third base. The Braves managed to score only once, when [[Wes Covington]] scored in the seventh on a single by Schoendienst. [[Whitey Ford]] pitched a [[complete game]] for the Yankees.

[[Hank Aaron]] led off the second inning with a triple, then made it safe at home on [[Joe Adcock]]'s single. The Yankees responded with one of their own in the bottom half of the second. Again in the third inning, the Yankees and Braves each scored one run, leaving the score 2–2 heading to the fourth inning. Both managers were worried about their [[starting pitcher]]s, and after three straight singles from Adcock, [[Andy Pafko]], and [[Wes Covington]] and with two runs in, Yankees manager [[Casey Stengel]] replaced [[Bobby Shantz]] with [[relief pitcher|reliever]] [[Art Ditmar]]. Ditmar had finished the [[regular season]] with an 8–3 record, a 3.25 [[Earned run average|ERA]] and six [[save (baseball)|saves]].

Ditmar was able to prevent the Braves from scoring any more runs, but the score was 4–2 in favor of the Braves. After that, Braves starter [[Lew Burdette]]'s pitching improved significantly. He only gave up four hits for the rest of the game, two of them coming in the ninth inning. After a ground out, [[Tony Kubek]] singled to right to start things off. Stengel decided to [[pinch hitter|pinch hit]] lefty [[Joe Collins]], who was 30–for–149 (.201) that year and was playing what turned out to be his final year, for the right-handed Coleman, who was a better 42–for–157 (.263) and also playing in his final season, to face right-handed pitcher Burdette. Collins popped to [[Johnny Logan (baseball)|Johnny Logan]] at [[shortstop]] for the second out. Then, Stengel again opted to pinch hit for the pitcher, [[Bob Grim (baseball)|Bob Grim]]. Howard came up in his spot and singled to advance Kubek to second. [[Bobby Richardson]] pinch ran for Howard. Burdette recorded the final out as he got Bauer, the next batter, to ground to short, where Logan forced out Richardson.

The Braves' win in Game&nbsp;2 was the first World Series game won by a non-[[New York City]] team since [[1948 World Series|1948]]. In every World Series between 1948 and 1957, either both teams were from New York City or a New York City team won in a sweep ([[1950 World Series|1950]] and [[1954 World Series|1954]]).

New York's [[Tony Kubek]] began the scoring with a one-out solo homer in the first inning. After that, things quickly fell apart for [[Bob Buhl]], who had pitched quite well in the regular season (18–7, 2.74 ERA). He walked [[Mickey Mantle]] and [[Yogi Berra]], then made an [[error]] attempting to pick Mantle off at second base. After a [[sacrifice fly]] by [[Gil McDougald]] and a single by [[first baseman]] [[Harry Simpson]], manager [[Fred Haney]] pulled Buhl and brought in [[rookie]] [[Juan Pizarro (baseball)|Juan Pizarro]]. Pizarro got the final out in the first inning, and followed that with a solid second inning. In the third inning, however, the Yankees began to capitalize on their lead. After allowing hits from Mantle, Berra and [[Jerry Lumpe]], and a [[Base on ball|walk]] to [[Elston Howard]], who was [[pinch hitter|pinch-hitting]] for [[Harry Simpson]], Pizarro was removed from the game. [[Gene Conley]] was called in to finish the inning. He did get the last two outs, but gave up a two-run home run to Mantle in the fourth inning.

By the bottom of the fifth inning, the score was 7–1 in favor of the Yankees. Logan led off with a single, and [[Eddie Mathews]] [[Batted ball|flied]] to left. [[Hank Aaron]] hit one of his three postseason homers to make the game 7–3. After a Covington walk, [[Joe Adcock]] and [[Bob Hazle]] each made outs to end the fifth. Yankees relief pitcher [[Don Larsen]] had his comfortable lead cut down to just four runs.

In the seventh inning the Yankees secured their lead with a five-run inning against reliever [[Bob Trowbridge]]. The five runs started with a two-run bases-loaded single by Bauer and a three-run home run by Kubek. The score was 12–3 heading into the bottom of the seventh.

There was only one more hit the rest of the game, a single by Aaron in the ninth. [[Del Crandall]] made the last out and the series was on to Game&nbsp;4 with the Yankees up 2–1. [[Left fielder]] Kubek was only the second rookie in history to hit two [[home run]]s in a World Series game. This was the first World Series game played in the state of Wisconsin.

After a game with two homers and four RBIs, [[Tony Kubek]] led off the first inning for the Yankees, laying down a bunt which ultimately led to a run after [[Mickey Mantle]] reached on a [[fielder's choice]], [[Yogi Berra]] walked, and [[Gil McDougald]] singled.

The second inning started with a single by [[Hank Aaron]] and then a [[stolen base]] by [[Wes Covington]], but they could not convert. The fourth inning began with a walk to [[Johnny Logan (baseball)|Johnny Logan]]. [[Eddie Mathews]] [[double (baseball)|doubled]] to right field, which sent Logan to third. Aaron then hit a three-run home run which completely cleared the stadium. The next batter, Covington, grounded out. This was followed by a shot off the bat of [[Frank Torre]], a part-time first baseman who was giving [[Joe Adcock]] a day off. The Braves were then up 4–1 against Yankees starter [[Tom Sturdivant]].

The next four innings for the Yankees were plagued by [[double play]]s. [[Warren Spahn]] was getting ground out after ground out and the Yankees looked helpless until the ninth. With two outs and a three-run deficit in the top of the ninth, New York found new life in two back-to-back singles. Spahn gave up one to Berra, followed by one to McDougald. With two runners on, Howard hit a three-run homer to tie the game.

Left-handed [[Tommy Byrne (baseball)|Tommy Byrne]] had replaced right-handed [[Johnny Kucks]] in the eighth inning for New York. This prompted Haney to pinch hit Adcock for Torre. Adcock grounded to shortstop and Milwaukee went 1–2–3 that inning. The game thus went on to extra innings.

Milwaukee starter Spahn came out for the tenth. Kubek got his second hit in the top of the tenth, followed by a triple by [[Hank Bauer]] to score a run. After Mantle flied to right, the Braves got ready for the bottom of the tenth down one. Spahn was due up first for the Braves, and Haney opted to pinch hit with [[Nippy Jones]], who had played in just 30 games that year. In what turned out to be his final appearance, Jones was part of a pivotal play in the inning. A wild [[Tommy Byrne (baseball)|Tommy Byrne]] pitch bounced near Jones, but umpire Donatelli initially called a ball. After an argument hinging on a spot of shoe polish on the baseball, Jones convinced umpire [[Augie Donatelli]] that he was hit on the [[shoe]].

The inning continued with [[Felix Mantilla Lamela|Felix Mantilla]] running for Jones. [[Red Schoendienst]] hit a [[sacrifice bunt]] to advance Mantilla, who scored the tying run on a double by Logan. Mathews followed with a towering two-run home run to win it for the Braves, 7–5, and tied the series at two games apiece.

With the opposing teams' top pitchers, [[Whitey Ford]] and [[Lew Burdette]], facing each other, Game&nbsp;5 was expected to be a low-scoring affair. However, the game started out with the Yankees looking to score in the first inning. After a leadoff single by [[Hank Bauer]] and a sacrifice bunt by [[Tony Kubek]], [[Gil McDougald]] hit a [[line drive]] that turned into the second out of the inning. [[Yogi Berra]] then grounded out. After that, Burdette only allowed multiple Yankee baserunners in the fourth inning.

At the start of the sixth inning, the game was still scoreless. In the bottom of the sixth with two outs and nobody on, [[Eddie Mathews]], [[Hank Aaron]], and [[Joe Adcock]] singled, scoring Mathews and giving the Braves a 1–0 lead that held up for the rest of the game.

The Yankees' best scoring chance came in the eighth inning after a hit by [[Jerry Coleman]] to right field. [[Mickey Mantle]] came in to pinch-run for Coleman, but was [[caught stealing]] at second base by [[catcher]] [[Del Crandall]]. Ford was then taken out and Yankee reliever [[Bob Turley]] came in, striking out two batters while giving up no hits in the inning.

[[Yogi Berra]] made the last Yankee out in the 1–0 complete-game by Burdette, and the [[Milwaukee Braves]] took the series lead three games to two.

[[Bob Buhl]] started for the Braves but did not last very long. In the first two innings, no one scored, although there were some opportunities, including the Yankees' first inning when [[Enos Slaughter]] reached third and [[Yogi Berra]] got to second on Buhl's wild pitch. Buhl struck out [[Gil McDougald]] to end the inning.

In the bottom of the third, the Yankees scored two runs to take the lead on a Berra two-run homer, scoring Slaughter. After that [[Ernie Johnson (pitcher)|Ernie Johnson]] replaced Buhl. Johnson then held the Yankees scoreless until the seventh inning.

The Braves cut the lead in their half in the fifth on [[Frank Torre]]'s home run, his second of the series. The Braves then tied it in the top of the seventh with a homer by [[Hank Aaron]], his third. The game was now tied and Braves' pitcher Johnson was holding the Yankees to just one hit in {{frac|3|1|3}} innings. Leading off the seventh, pitcher [[Bob Turley]] was out on a bunt attempt with two strikes. Then, [[right fielder]] [[Hank Bauer]] hit a home run off the left-field foul pole to give the Yankees a one-run lead.

In the Braves' ninth, after an [[Eddie Mathews]] walk, Turley got lefty [[Wes Covington]] to ground into a 1–6–3 double play to end the game and force a deciding Game&nbsp;7.

[[Lew Burdette]] was called in to start game 7 for the Braves on two days' rest when the expected starter, [[Warren Spahn]], was struck with the [[Asian flu]].

After two scoreless innings, the Braves broke through in the third, started by a [[Bob Hazle]] single and an error by [[Tony Kubek]] at third base; one of three Yankee errors in the game. The inning continued with a hard-hit [[Eddie Mathews]] double, which prompted [[Casey Stengel]] to take out starter [[Don Larsen]] and bring in lefty [[Bobby Shantz]]. Shantz then gave up an RBI single to [[Hank Aaron]] and a single by [[Wes Covington]] advanced Aaron to third. [[Frank Torre]] grounded into a fielders' choice which scored Aaron. [[Felix Mantilla Lamela|Felix Mantilla]] then flied to [[Hank Bauer]] in right to end the inning, ending the Braves' scoring at four runs.

The Yankees' best chance came in the sixth, when they had runners on first and second with two outs after a [[Mickey Mantle]] single and an error by Mathews at third. [[Gil McDougald]] then grounded out forcing Mantle at third to end the inning and the threat.

In the ninth, after Milwaukee made it 5–0 on a [[Del Crandall]] homer, the Yankees attempted to mount a rally. With two outs and McDougald on first base, [[Jerry Coleman]] singled to right. Then, [[Tommy Byrne (baseball)|Tommy Byrne]] singled to load the bases for Bill Skowron. With the tying run on deck, Burdette retired Skowron on a ground out to third with Mathews making the final out which secured the world championship for the Braves.

In the game, the Yankees were limited to seven hits and one walk. Burdette was named the Series MVP after pitching three complete games and two shutouts. He was the first pitcher since [[Christy Mathewson]] to pitch two shutouts in a World Series.

Despite the Yankees having made 17 more appearances in the World Series since this one, this game, to date, is the most recent time the team has hosted a World Series Game 7.
