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.

[edit] Trivia

• The New York Yankees played their first World Series without Babe Ruth and their first with Joe DiMaggio. Ruth went on to play briefly for the Boston Braves in the National League.

• Joe DiMaggio is the only person to play on four World Championship teams in his first four years in the big leagues, the 1936-39 Yankees.

• Outfielder Jake Powell started the year with the Washington Senators before coming over in the middle of the year in a trade for Ben Chapman. In this Series, Powell would lead all hitters in hits (10), batting average (.455), runs (8), bases on balls (4), add a homerun with 5 runs batted in, and steal the Yankees only stolen base!
