  • Do they do it again? Yes! In 1937, '38 & '39!   
  • Four World Championships in succession!
  • Each pennant is won by at least 9 games!
  • Two sweeps and just 3 losses in the World Series!
  • '38 Yanks notch "only" 99 wins, the others over 100!
  • The most dominant team for any 4-year period?

    • In the first three years of the world championship streak, first baseman
    Lou Gehrig hits 115 home runs, scores 420 runs, and drives in 425 runs

    His great career comes to a halt 8 games into the 1939 season, and
    yet the Yankees go on to win 106 games and finish 17 games ahead
    of the runner-up Red Sox-- a truly extraordinary team achievement!
