This fifties Yankee concoction surpassed the feats put forth by the Yankees of 1936-1939 who had won four consecutive championships led by Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey, and Red Ruffing. That team was 16-3 in the World Series. The Ruth-Gehrig “Murderer’s Row” Yankees won two consecutive championships in 1927-1928, and went 8-0 in the Fall Classic.
DiMaggio, Keller, and Henrich had a part in both the four and five-peat.
