New York Yankees vs Oakland Athletics September 1, 2010

The Yankees raided Boston again this time making manager Ed Barrow their new General Manager, and in turn Barrow brought pitcher Waite Hoyt, and catcher Wally Schang with him. These acquisitions plus another record topping 59 HR from Babe Ruth were just what the Yankees need to win 98 games and their first pennant. The Yankees would face the New York Giants in the very first Subway Series. The Yanks would get off to a flaying start winning the first 2 games of the best of 9 series by identical 3-0 scores. The Giants would bounce back in the next two games to even the series. The Yankees would rebound to win Game 5, and took a 5-0 lead in Game 6, but the Yankees would only score one more run in the entire series after that. The Yanks would lose the Babe to an injury and after the Giants came back to win the sixth game, the Yankees lost the series 5-3. After the series the Giants evicted the Yankees out of the Polo Grounds effective the end of the 1922 season.
