The 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers season was the 63rd season for the Brooklyn Dodgers franchise in the MLB. The team rebounded from the heartbreaking ending of 1951 to win the National League pennant by four games over the New York Giants. However, they dropped the World Series in seven games to the New York Yankees. Led by Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson, and Duke Snider, the high-powered Brooklyn offense scored the most runs in the majors.

Regular season
