The 1959 World Series featured the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers beating the American League champion Chicago White Sox, 4–2. Each of the three games played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum drew record crowds, Game 5's attendance of 92,706 continues to be a World Series record to this day, and one that cannot feasibly be broken in any modern ballpark.

(The Brooklyn Dodgers would lose against the Yankees in 1956 for a record of 1-8 in the World Series. In Los Angeles, the Dodgers racked up a record of 6 wins and 6 losses in World Series competition between 1959 and 2020.) The first championship for a West Coast team, it was also the first World Series in which no pitcher for either side pitched a complete game.
