The 1932 World Series was a match up between the 32-year old Babe Ruth's Boston Red Sox and the 31-year old Lou Gehrig's New York Yankees. It is considered by many to be the greatest World Series ever played. It was a best-of-seven series that lasted seven games and came down to the final game of the series at Fenway Park in Boston. The Red Sox won four out of five games to win their first world championship in 92 years.
There were only two major league teams in 1932: the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. The Cleveland Indians had a new stadium ready to open but they didn't play any games in 1932 because there was no Major League Baseball. The Pittsburgh Pirates moved to San Francisco after the season ended.
There are still today three major league teams in the United States and Canada: the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago White Sox, and the Detroit Tigers. The Baltimore Orioles joined as their expansion team in 1954. However, they left for Washington D.C. when the Montreal Expos joined in 1969.
The 1932 season of the New York Yankees The 1932 New York Yankees season was the club's 30th in New York and 32nd overall. The club completed with a 107-47 record, capturing their fifth pennant and finishing 13 games ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics. Lefty Grove had another great year, winning 29 games while losing only 12.
In the World Series, the Yankees beat the Chicago Cubs 4 games to 3. It was their sixth championship title and first since 1920.
An estimated crowd of 50,000 saw the Yankees defeat Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators in ten innings for lefty George Pipgras's victory score of 1. The final game took five hours and fifty minutes to complete as Joe DiMaggio hit his famous "shot" into center field for an home run that gave the Yankees a 5-4 win over their rival Boston Red Sox. The Yankees finished with more wins (107) than any other team in history until 1953 when they repeated themselves.
After the season ended, owner Jacob Ruppert sold most of the players to other teams. The only ones who stayed were Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey. Joe started out with Hollywood Baseball Club but was traded to the San Francisco Giants during the spring training.
