1936 World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1936 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the New York Giants, with the Yankees winning in six games to earn their fifth championship.
Carl Hubbell won Game 1 but it was all downhill after that. The Yankees won Game 2 at the Polo Grounds by an 18-4 count, a Series record for lopsided scoring. Joe DiMaggio made all three 9th inning outs in that game, the final a long fly that he snared and then kept running all the way up the clubhouse steps.
Managers: Joe McCarthy (New York Yankees), Bill Terry (New York Giants)
Umpires: Cy Pfirman (NL), Harry Geisel (AL), George Magerkurth (NL), Bill Summers (AL)
