Who did you root for in the 51 and 54 World Series? For some reason, I was for the Giants in 1951. In 1954, I strongly supported the Indians.

Was there a World Series in 1951 and 1954? If the Dodgers weren't playing I had no interest in the Series those years and didn't care who won. Ironically, in March 1955 my father took me and three friends to Knoxville TN to see the Giants-Indians play a spring training game on their way north. Can't remember who I routed for then or which team won, though I have pictures from the game.

Could it be because in 1951 the Giants were the lesser of evils playing the Yankees?

Maybe, although I was so young that the only Yankees that I had heard of at that time were DiMaggio and maybe Rizzuto. Considering how I cried when Thomson hit the homer, I'm surprised that I even thought of rooting for the Giants, even mildly.

A true Brooklyn Dodger fan would NEVER, EVER root for the Giants.
