The 1955 major league baseball season began on April 11, 1955. The regular season ended on September 25, with the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 52nd World Series on September 28 and ended with Game 7 on October 4. In the sixth iteration of this Subway Series World Series matchup, The Dodgers defeated the Yankees, four games to three, capturing their first championship in franchise history. This was the first World Series between the two teams to see the Dodgers win over the Yankees.
The 22nd Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played on July 12, hosted by the Milwaukee Braves in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the National League winning, 6–5.
In a continuation of the relocation trend that began in 1953, a team relocated in the third year in a row; the American League's Philadelphia Athletics moved from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Kansas City, Missouri, leaving Philadelphia a one-team city.
On April 14, the New York Yankees became the 13th team in professional baseball to break the color line when they fielded Elston Howard.[1]
