In the 11th iteration of this World Series matchup, the 78th World Series then began on October 20 and concluded on October 28 with the Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League defeating the New York Yankees of the American League, four games to two, to win their fifth title in franchise history. The 52nd All-Star Game, originally scheduled for July 14, was held on August 9 at Cleveland Stadium, home of the Cleveland Indians. The National League won, 5–4, and was the 10th win in what would be an 11-game win streak that lasted until 1983.
