The 1958 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 1958 season. The 55th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff that matched the American League (AL) champion New York Yankees and the National League (NL) champion and defending World Series champion Milwaukee Braves. In a reversal from 1957, the Yankees defeated the Braves in seven games to win their 18th title, and their seventh in 10 years. With that victory, the Yankees became only the second team in Major League Baseball history to come back from a 3–1 deficit to win a best-of-seven World Series; the first was the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1925 (the 1903 Boston Americans came back from a 3–1 deficit in a best-of-nine affair). These teams would meet again in the fall classic 38 years later—by that time, the Braves had moved to Atlanta. As of 2024, this is the most recent World Series featuring the two previous Series winning teams.
