The Giants and Dodgers World Series notes

After the 1954 season when the New York Giants won their last World Series as the New York Giants, they had 5 World Series wins exactly that many more than the Brooklyn Dodgers.

In 1955, the Dodgers won their first title and after the 1988 season had taken a (6-5) World Series title lead over the arch rival Giants, now in San Francisco while the Dodgers were based in Los Angeles.

As we are on the precipice of the 2016 season, in which the Giants hope to add a 4th straight even year title, the Giants lead the Dodgers (8-5) in World Series victories.
