The Greatest Teams (according to TCMA) - 1955 Dodgers

Edit: This is a series of posts about TCMA's set from 1987 highlighting some of the best ever teams in MLB history.

The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers wrapped up the season with a 98-55-1 record, which was good enough to propel them to a 1st place finish in the NL.  In the World Series, Brooklyn defeated the Yankees 4 games to 3, which would be the only time the Dodgers would win the WS while in Brooklyn.  Three years later they moved across county.  

Campanella had a great year, batting .318 with 32 HR's.  However, Robinson was near the end of his career, batting only .256 with 8 HR's.

TCMA got creative with this team set.  While I like this photo, I don't like that the border wasn't adjusted for it.

TCMA thought so highly of this team we get photos with multiple players!  I'm liking the stadium in the background.

The pitching staff was no pushover.  Led by Don Newcombe (20-5, 3.20) they finished 1 or 2 in most major pitching categories.

I can see an argument being made to include this as one of the greatest teams, and TCMA certainly gave it the 'greatest team' treatment.  By including multiple players on a card we get to see 12 players from this team instead of the usual 9.  We also get the nice landscaped shot of Gil Hodges at first scooping a ball and it seems TCMA also tried to match the border color to the team (if that was done on purpose it's a nice touch).  This is one of the better team sets so far in this series.  Next up: 1957 Braves.
