Next in my series of looks at individual seasons through the prism of Player won-lost records is 1955. The 1955 season is unique in major-league history in one way in which it is guaranteed to remain unique: 1955 was the only season in major-league history in which the Brooklyn Dodgers won the World Series.

I calculate Player won-lost records two ways: pWins, which tie to team wins and eWins, which control for context and the ability of one's teammates. For players with more pWins than eWins, their Player wins contributed to more team wins than one might expect; for players with more eWins than pWins, just the opposite is true: their Player wins translated into fewer team wins than expected. Or more briefly: a player with more pWins than eWins was better in context, a player with more eWins than pWins was worse in context.

Willie, Mickey, and the Duke

At the top of the 1955 leaderboards sit three Hall-of-Famers immortalized in song (the title of this section links to a YouTube video of it). Here's how their careers compared for the four years when they were all full-time centerfielders in New York City.

The 1955 Postseason

The 1955 World Series was the sixth of seven World Series meetings between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Yankees went 6-1 in those 7 matchups. This was the 1.

The best players in the 1955 World Series by Player won-lost records are shown in the table below.

The star of the 1955 World Series was 23-year-old Johnny Podres (1955 was actually Podres's "age 22" season; he won Game 3 of the World Series on his 23rd birthday). While Podres didn't go on to have a Hall-of-Fame career, he was a good, solid pitcher for a good, long time.

Best of 1955 by Factor and Position

Next, let's look at the top players in (context-neutral, teammate-adjusted) eWins over Positional Average in various aspects of the game.

Best by Factor: Batting, Baserunning, Pitching, Fielding

There are four basic factors for which players earn Player won-lost records: Batting, Baserunning, Pitching, and Fielding. The top players in 1955 in eWOPA by factor were as follows.

	Batting
	eWins	eLosses	eWOPA
Willie Mays	17.4	10.6	3.1
Mickey Mantle	15.8	9.1	3.1
Duke Snider	16.7	10.5	2.9

Positional Average excludes pitcher offense

It is unusual for the three best hitters in the major leagues to play the same defensive position and it is even more unusual for that position to be center field. In evaluating Player won-lost records, players are compared to positional averages. I calculate these positional averages empirically by season. So, if there happen to be a particularly strong set of players at one position, that will be reflected in a higher positional average for the relevant year(s).

Center fielders of the 1950s are perhaps the strongest example of this. The 1950s were a golden age for major-league centerfielders with two all-time greats and three additional Hall-of-Famers accounting for nearly one-third (5/16) of the starting center field positions for much of this time.

For most of the time period for which I have calculated Player won-lost records, left- and right-fielders have amassed better offensive Player winning percentages than center fielders. As a result, the Positional Average against which center fielders are measured is generally lower than for corner outfielders. This is not true, however, during the period in the mid-50's when five Hall-of-Famers were patrolling major-league center fields. The table below shows positional averages for the three outfield positions over various time periods.

Season(s)	LF/RF	CF
1960 - 2012	0.514	0.507
1954 - 1957	0.517	0.517
1955	0.515	0.517

	Baserunning
	eWins	eLosses	eWOPA
Mickey Mantle	1.3	0.7	0.3
Billy Klaus	1.2	0.6	0.3

Positional Average excludes pitcher offense

Baserunning was a much smaller part of baseball in the 1950s than it was in the decades that followed. The table below shows how the percentage of total offensive Player decisions that were baserunning has varied by decade from the 1950s through the present day.

Baserunning as % of Offensive Decisions

Don Mossi is perhaps most (in)famous now for his somewhat unusual appearance. For relief pitchers, context-neutral records may not be the best measure of how good they are, as context can matter a great deal, depending on how a pitcher is used. Here are the top relief pitchers of 1955 in context, in terms of pWins and pWOPA.

Don Newcombe	2.9	1.8	1.1

Don Newcombe was one of the best-hitting pitchers of the last 60+ years, as measured by Player won-lost records, and his 1955 season ranks as the second best offensive season among all pitchers for whom I have calculated Player won-lost records. The next two tables show the top 5 seasons for pitcher offense and top 5 career totals, both measured by wins over positional average.

All articles are written so that they pull data directly from the most recent version of the Player won-lost database. Hence, any numbers cited within these articles should automatically incorporate the most recent update to Player won-lost records. In some cases, however, the accompanying text may have been written based on previous versions of Player won-lost records. I apologize if this results in non-sensical text in any cases.
