The difference between this team and the one the previous year was that there were several injuries. The Yankees continued to win with this amazing team. Combs scored and ended the game in wild fashion. Uh oh! Amazingly, the pitcher, John Miljus struck him out, along with the next batter, but then threw another wild pitch. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Gehrig was due to come up. This left first base empty, which the Pirates intentionally walked Ruth. The runners advanced on a wild pitch as Ruth was up at bat. Combs walked and then advanced on Koenig’s bunt, which Koenig beat out. With the Yankees up at bat, it was up to them to seal the deal. Game four was anyone’s game as it was 3-3 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. The Pirates did make an error in game three, but between Ruth’s three-run HR, along with the help of Gehrig, Combs and Mark Koenig, the Yankees had this one in the bag. The same occurred in game two in a Yankees 6-2 win. There were a couple of crucial fielding errors on the Pirates part. The Yankees won 5-4, although it could’ve easily been the Pirates who celebrated the victory. This could be why the Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 in the series. It could be because they had players like Bob Meusel, Babe Ruth, Tony Lazzeri, Earle Combs and Lou Gehrig.

Whitey Witt, Joe Dugan, Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Everett Scott and Wally Pipp were key players in helping the Yankees win their first Championship. The Yankees won game the next three games, 8-4, 8-1 and 6-4. Well, the Yankees did what they needed to do. With the Giants leading the series 2-1, the Yankees had their work cut out for them. Apparently, home runs were the theme for game two as Stengel, once again, helped out the Giants, getting a HR for a 1-0 final. Game two was all Babe Ruth, who hit two homers in the fourth and fifth innings, giving the Yankees a 4-2 victory. Not even Stephen King can make this stuff up. Ironically, Stengel eventually became one of the most successful Yankee managers of all time. Unfortunately, the first game didn’t go in their favor as they lost 5-4, due to an inside-the-park home run by none other than Casey Stengel. With the original Yankee Stadium now open, the Yankees had a home-field advantage. In 1923, the Yankees won their first World Series, again facing the Giants, but this time the Yankees earned the victory. The same result came about the following year, losing to the Giants as well. 1923-Yankees First ChampionshipĪlthough the Yankees’ first appearance in the World Series occurred in 1921, they lost to the New York Giants.
