October 9,1950 THE BROOKLYN DODGERS ARE THE 1950 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!  The Dodgers left no doubt who the best team in baseball was by destroying the Detroit Tigers 12-0 today at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn won the series 4 games to 2. Don Newcombe (below left) pitched a gem of a game in shutting out the Tigers on 6 hits, completing the game for his 2nd win of the series. The Dodgers scored 4 runs in the 3rd inning and that would be all they'd need for the victory. Third baseman Bobby Morgan led the hitting attack for Brooklyn by going 3 for 3 with 2 homeruns and 4 rbi. Carl Furillo (below right) was named the World Series MVP. Furillo hit .520 with 4 hr and 10 rbi. He also played outstanding defense in rightfield, picking up 2 assists and getting a dp. Brooklyn out-slugged Detroit by a wide margin in the series. The Dodgers hit 16 hr to Detroit's 1 and they outscored the  Tigers 42 to 14. |

Third baseman Bobby Morgan blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Don Newcombe
whitewashed Detroit at Ebbets Field as the Brooklyn Dodgers, running on all
cylinders, ripped the Detroit Tigers by a large 12 to 0 margin.
Morgan punished Detroit with his bat. He tripled in the 3rd inning, lifted
one out of the park for a two run home run in the 4th inning and blasted a
two-run home run in the 8th inning. Brooklyn had 12 hits for the afternoon.
Newcombe(2-0) was credited with the shutout. Hal Newhouser(0-2) took the loss.
He was touched for 8 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Morgan said. 'Whenever I
would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'
