$7,995.00
It is a testament to the strength of the Yankees franchise that the team was able to easily repeat as world champions in 1952 despite the retirement of Joe DiMaggio. A young Mickey Mantle stepped into DiMaggio’s cleats, hitting .311 with 23 home runs down the pennant stretch and keeping a surging Cleveland Indians team at bay. The Yankees met the Dodgers in the World Series for the third time in six years and won their fourth straight world championship.
