The 1955 World Series was the only one in which the Brooklyn Dodgers conquered the Yanks for the World Series title.
In game one of the Fall Classic, Jackie Robinson earned a disputed steal of home.

On September 2, 1972, Cubs' hurler Milt Pappas was one batter away from a perfect game. Pappas worked the count on pinch-hitter Larry Stahl to one ball, and two strikes, then missed on three successive pitches at least near the corner.
Were they strikes? Umpire Bruce Froemming says no, but more than 35 years later, both Pappas and catcher Randy Hundley disagree.","http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/NBCSports/Sections/Personal/Chiappetta%2C%20Mike/MLB/DistantReplay/MiltPappas.hlarge.jpg","","", "", "", "", "", "", "Anonymous", "AP", "273", "323", "#000000", "", "", "", ""); spts_DistantReplay[i++] = new Array("","Reds Red Sox","INTERFERING WITH HISTORY
During game three of the 1975 World Series, Carlton Fisk was involved in a controversial play.
In the 10th inning, light-hitting Ed Armbrister was attempting to sacrifice, and laid down a bunt. He and Fisk collided near the plate, and Fisk ended up throwing the ball into centerfield for an error. The Red Sox claimed batter's interference, but the play stood, and Joe Morgan followed with a game-winning single.

History remembers Kirk Gibson's stunning walkoff homer against Dennis Eckersley in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, but few remember the moment that preceded it.
Pinch-hitter Mike Davis walked, and then stole second. But the steal was controversial at the time. The hobbled Gibson reached across the plate to see the pitch location, and his momentum put him in the path of catcher Ron Hassey, who was unable to get off a throw as a result. Batters' interference would have sunk L.A., but instead, Davis was at second base when Gibson mashed his legendary homer.","http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/NBCSports/Sections/Personal/Chiappetta%2C%20Mike/MLB/DistantReplay/GibsonLAD.vlarge.jpg","","", "", "", "", "", "left", "Rusty Kennedy", "ASSOCIATED PRESS", "358", "198", "#000000", "", "", "", ""); spts_DistantReplay[i++] = new Array("","Maier","MAIER SAVES THE YANKS
In 1996, it had been 18 years since the Yankees won a World Series, and New Yorkers were getting a bit antsy.
So when the Bronx Bombers faced the Orioles in the ALCS, it wasn't surprising the fans had a direct effect on the outcome. In the eighth inning of Game 1, with the Yanks down 4-3, Derek Jeter lofted a fly ball to deep right field. Baltimore outfielder Tony Tarasco settled under it at the wall, reached up to catch it -- and it was gone, in the glove of fan Jeffrey Maier.
Tarasco protested for fan interference, but to no avail, as the Yankees went on to capture the win in extra innings.","http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/NBCSports/Sections/Personal/Chiappetta%2C%20Mike/MLB/DistantReplay/Maier.hlarge.jpg","","", "", "", "", "", "", "Mark Lennihan", "ASSOCIATED PRESS", "273", "304", "#000000", "", "", "", ""); spts_DistantReplay[i++] = new Array("","Livan","LIVAN ON THE EDGE
The 1997 NLCS was tied two-games-apiece heading into the pivotal game 5, which featured Florida's Livan Hernandez against Atlanta's Greg Maddux.
With umpire Eric Gregg behind the plate, the strike zone seemed to expand well beyond its normal size, particularly for Hernandez, who struck out a career-high 15 Braves in a complete-game three-hitter that left Atlanta hitters seeing red.

Then came the play that seemingly reversed Chicago's fortunes, with outfielder Moises Alou unable to catch a foul ball down the left field line. Was it fan interference? An incensed Alou thought so, and the Cubs never recovered.

It was no surprise that last year's Rockies-Padres play-in game would be a slugfest, but slugger Matt Holliday's winning run was memorable because of its controversy.
In the bottom of the 13th inning, Holliday tagged up on a fly ball and as San Diego catcher Michael Barrett corralled the throw, Holliday tried to slide around him, reach out his hand and tag the plate.
The ump called Holliday safe, and the Rockies won the game. Many believe, however, that Holliday never actually touched the plate, which should have nullified the game-winner.
