The 1955 New York Giants season was the franchise's 73rd season. The team finished in third place in the National League with an 80–74 record, 18+1⁄2 games behind the Brooklyn Dodgers. The season ended with the Phillies turning a triple play with the winning run at home plate.[1][2]

It was an inglorious finish, as the Phils got the final three outs in the ninth inning on a triple play after New York had two runners on with none out.
