SEE PHOTO----- Five (5) COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPERs, the
Auburn Citizen-Advertiser
(Auburn NY) dated Oct  6, 7, 8, 9, and 11, 1937. These
newspapers contain front page headlines of games 1, 2, 3, 4 and an inside page heading of the final game 5 with the NY Yankees becoming World's Champions by defeating the NY Giants 4 games to 1.
The 1937 World Series featured the defending champion
New York Yankees
and the
New York Giants
in a rematch of the
1936 Series
. The Yankees won in five games, for their second championship in a row and their sixth in fifteen years (1923, 1927–28, 1932, 1936).
This was the Yankees' third Series win over the Giants (1923, 1936), finally giving them an overall edge in Series wins over the Giants with three Fall Classic wins to the Giants' two (after they lost the
1921
and
1922 Series
to the Giants). Currently (as of 2012), the
St. Louis Cardinals
are the only "Classic Eight"
National League
(1900–1961) team to hold a Series edge over the Bronx Bombers, with three wins to the Yankees' two. The 1937 victory by the Yankees also broke a three-way tie among themselves, the
Philadelphia Athletics
and the
Boston Red Sox
for the most World Series wins all-time (five each). By the time the Athletics and Red Sox won their sixth World Series (in 1972 and 2004, respectively), the Yankees had far outpaced them in world championships with 20 in 1972 and 26 in 2004.
The 1937 Series was the first in which a team (in this case, the Yankees) did not commit a single
error
. Game 4 ended with the final World Series innings ever pitched by Hall of Famer
Carl Hubbell
who, during the ninth inning, gave up Hall of Famer
Lou Gehrig
's final Series home run.
