The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Appreciate the Cincinnati Reds organization for allowing the Dodgers the use of the field and lightning to shoot this treasured piece of future baseball history. Love how Ed Sullivan always had time to showcase championship teams on his Sunday night showcase. Reminded me of the 1969 World Championship New York Mets. The Sunday after winning it all, the team went on SULLIVAN to sing YOU GOTTA HAVE HEART...😎🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂

A different story if this was done in SF today.

I grew up as a Mets fan and an Uncle who was an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan! Great memories especially 1969 and I remember them singing on the Ed Sullivan Show! Unbelievable!!

The Brooklyn Dodgers won the National League championship, or "pennant", in 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1956 and they played the American League champion New York Yankees in the World Series each of those years. The only year the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Yankees was in 1955. In 1958 the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.

0:56 A 19-year-old rookie pitcher from Brooklyn named Sandy Koufax being introduced.

[@raymondstern9046]

Koufax was an bonus baby signing dodgers had to keep him on their roster or they would have lost him to the rule 5 draft hurt him for his early development

[@willminkorea2010]

The Dodgers went on to win the World Series over the Yankees by 4-3.

[@willminkorea2010]

Catcher Roy Campanella was the National League MVP 3 times.

Unfortunately 1955 was the year in which the Dodgers won their first and last World Series while based in Brooklyn. At least they won one for Jackie Robinson before he retired as an active player after the 1956 season, and for Pee Wee Reese, who was on the Dodger teams of 1941, '47, '49, '52, '53, '55, and '56, losing the Series each year to the hated crosstown Yankees each time, with the exception of 1955. And another drawback to the Dodgers' World Series appearances is being on the wrong side of the only perfect game in World Series history.

Sadly, bat boy Charlie Digiovanna was the first to pass away from this group. He died December 1958 just months after winning $10,000 on Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life” quiz show. Charlie said the money would be a down payment on a house in Long Beach.

I love baseball history and being allowed via video like this to take a peek into the past, You know from 1947-1966 the Dodgers won 11 pennants and 4 World Championships making them as far as I know the only bicoastal dynasty in sports history

[@jeffd1986]

I guess the Yankees hadn't clinched the AL pennant yet when this was filmed. Thanks for posting. The Brooklyn Dodgers are my all time favorite team. I was born too late to watch the magic unfold at Ebbets Field.

Crosley Field was in Cincinnati.

Sandy Koufax played college ball at the Univ of Cincinnati.
