$5,495.00

The 1936 New York Yankees served as a changing of the guard, as it marked the first World Series without Hall of Famer Babe Ruth and the first with Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio. The 1936 team, with Lou Gehrig (.354/49/152) and Joe DiMaggio (.323/29/125), had one of the most potent offensive lineups since the 1927 squad. Red Ruffing won 20 games and Monte Pearson 19, and with Johnny Murphy coming out of the bullpen, the Yanks were virtually unbeatable, cruising to the pennant with a 13-game cushion. The Yankees then faced their cross-town rivals, the Giants, in the World Series. To illustrate their complete dominance, the Yanks outscored the Giants 43 to 23 and dispatched them in five games.
