Sixty years ago, Milwaukee was on top of the baseball world.

On Oct. 10, 1957, the Braves knocked off the New York Yankees, 5-0, in Game 7 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium for their first and only major-league baseball title for the city.

The Braves' series victory wasn't a stunner, but the Bronx Bombers were the defending champions and had a lineup featuring American League MVP Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra.

But the Braves had Hank Aaron, who was the National League MVP and hit .322 with 44 home runs and 132 RBI in the regular season. The pitching staff also included Lew Burdette, Warren Spahn (Cy Young winner) and Bob Buhl.

In the World Series, Aaron stayed hot at the plate, batting .393 with 11 hits, three homers and seven RBI. And Burdette was the first pitcher since 1920 to have three complete-game wins in a World Series, which included shutouts in Games 5 and 7. He had an unbelievable 0.67 ERA and was named MVP.

Here's a recap of the seven-game series:
