The 1966 MLB Season was exciting, but things would get even more exciting as the regular season turned to the playoffs. These playoffs featured a couple teams that would manage to grind their way through their opponents on their way to the World Series.

The Baltimore Orioles were led by Frank Robinson. Robinson was fresh off of an MVP season and he was ready to keep things going through the playoffs. Robinson was a Triple Crown winner and teams were forced to give him some respect.
The Orioles were able to feed off of the strength of Robinson and they managed to make their way all the way to the World Series to fight for a championship.

The National League featured the Dodgers, led by a stellar pitching staff. While Robinson was the Triple Crown winner in the AL, Koufax won a different type of Triple Crown in the NL. Koufax would lead the league in Wins, ERA and strikeouts that season, leading his team to victory in almost every game that he stepped on the mound. Koufax proved the season before that he could get it done in the playoffs as well and helped carry his team to the World Series yet again.

This ...
... World Series between the Orioles and Dodgers would bring a lot of excitement after the regular season. These two teams were at the top of their leagues, making this a matchup featuring the teams that were truly the best in the league.

The Baltimore Orioles would have to kick things off in Dodger Stadium. This would be a difficult place to play. The Dodgers had a huge home following and they were sending Drysdale out to the mound.

The Orioles chased off Drysdale early, scoring 5 runs before the end of the 4th inning. That early start would be good enough to bring them a win in game one by a score of 5-2. Moe Drabrowsky would get the win for the Orioles. Frank Robinson would make his presence felt with his first homerun of the World Series.

The next game would be between Jim Palmer and Koufax. This matchup started as a pitcher's duel, but the duel would only last for so long. Koufax and Palmer both allowed no runs through the first 4 innings, but the Orioles finally put some runs on the board in the 5th inning. Those three runs would be enough to take out the Dodgers as they would not score during the game. The final score of the game was 6-0.

Game three would be a classic pitcher's duel between Wally Bunker and Claude Osteen. The Orioles were once again able to put a run on the board in the 5th inning however. The Dodgers were not able to score yet again and they were shut out for the 2nd game in a row.

Game 4 featured another amazing pitching performance from the Orioles who managed to shut out the Dodgers again for the 3rd consecutive game. This would be another 1-0 game, as Robinson managed to hit another homerun. This would put away the Dodgers. Robinson would be the World Series MVP.
