Best Answer

The Yankees beat the LA Dodgers in the 1978 World Series 4 games to 2. It was the 1st time in history that a team won 4 straight after losing the 1st 2 games.

Game 1 Dodgers 11, Yankees 5
Game 2 Dodgers 4, Yankees 3
Game 3 Yankees 5, Dodgers 1
Game 4 Yankees 4, Dodgers 3
Game 5 Yankees 12, Dodgers 2
Game 6 Yankees 7, Dodgers 2

This feat was accomplished for a 2nd time when the LA Dodgers defeated the Yankees in 1981 World Series after they lost the 1st 2 games.

Game 1 Yankees 5, Dodgers 3
Game 2 Yankees 3, Dodgers 0
Game 3 Dodgers 5, Yankees 4
Game 4 Dodgers 8, Yankees 7
Game 5 Dodgers 2, Yankees 1
Game 6 Dodgers 9, Yankees 2

This was the series that Dave Winfield went 1-22, which years later prompted George Steinbrenner to mockingly label him "Mr. May" in reference to Reggie Jackson's nickname "Mr. October".
