- This would be Lou Gehrig's, last magnificent season before amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) began to take its toll on his career.
- "Game 4 featured the final World Series innings ever pitched by Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell who, during the ninth inning, threw a pitch that Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig hit for his final World Series home run."
- The 1937 World Series was the first World Series in which a team (Yankees) did not commit a single error.
