On November 10th in sports history, one significant event took place in 1957 when the Milwaukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the World Series, winning their first championship since 1914.

The game was played at Yankee Stadium in front of a crowd of 61,207 fans. The Braves, led by Hall of Fame players Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews, had a strong regular season, finishing with a record of 95-59. They faced off against the mighty New York Yankees, who had won seven of the previous ten World Series titles.

In Game 7, the Braves sent Lew Burdette to the mound, while the Yankees countered with Don Larsen, who had pitched a perfect game in the previous year's World Series. The game was tight throughout, with both teams trading runs. The Braves took a 4-2 lead into the ninth inning, but the Yankees managed to score a run and had the tying run on base with two outs.

However, Braves second baseman Red Schoendienst made a stunning defensive play, snaring a line drive off the bat of Yogi Berra to end the game and secure the championship for Milwaukee. Hank Aaron, who had a tremendous series, was named the World Series MVP.

The victory was especially sweet for the Braves, who had lost to the Yankees in the World Series in 1957. It also marked the first time a team from Milwaukee had won a major sports championship. The city erupted in celebration, with over 500,000 people lining the streets for the team's victory parade.

The 1957 Braves team is still remembered as one of the greatest in franchise history, with Aaron, Mathews, and Burdette all enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Their victory on November 10th, 1957, remains a cherished moment in Milwaukee sports history.
