New York Yankees: The 1927 Club and the Top 15 Teams in Franchise History | News, Scores, Highlights

Following quite possible the most prolific season by any Yankees team in history during the 1927 campaign, the Bronx Bombers were more than ready to add another World Series to the belt in 1928.

Culminated by tremendous hitting from Ruth and Gehrig in the regular season, the Yankees carried that success over to the post-season where they swept the Cardinals in route to win their third championship in franchise history.

During the series Ruth went 10-for-16, with three home runs coming in the series clinching Game 4.

Gehrig added three home runs as well after hitting 27 bombs, 47 doubles, and 13 triples in the regular season.

Ruth's 54 home runs during the 1928 season are tied for third most in his career, providing the Yankees with enough offense to lead the league in hits, home runs, runs, walks, average, slugging, on-base percentage, and OPS.
