This Series, which was closely matched in every game, is remembered for its then-record length of thirteen days, caused by rain in both cities, and its appropriately dramatic conclusion. The Yankees took the Series in 7 games for the 20th championship in team history. To put it another way, the Yankees had won their first World Series in 1923, so of the 40 Series played during 1923-1962, the Yankees had won half of them.
The Giants had a better team batting average, earned run average, hit more home runs, triples, and doubles, yet lost the Series.

Soon after the Series ended, Peanuts cartoonist and Giants fan Charles M. Schulz, in a rare reference to real-world events, drew a comic strip with Charlie Brown sitting glumly with Linus, lamenting in the last panel, "Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?" Later, he drew an identical strip, except in the last panel Charlie moaned, "Or why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just two feet higher?"
