Another wow has gone down. The 1954 Yankees knocked out the 1927 Yankees with relative ease 4 games to 1. The 1954 Bombers outscored the 1927 Yanks 17-11, but if you take off the 6-0 whitewashing by the 1927 Yanks in Game 3, it was 17-5 and really, not all that close at all. The big boppers Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, were unable to hit at all outside of the Game 3 victory for the 1927 Yanks. Ruth and Gehrig were 4 for 9 in Game 3 with 2 RBI. Outside of that, they didn't show up (1 for 29 with an RBI on a groundout by the Iron Horse), and that's why "Murderer's Row" is goin' home, instead of on to the Final Four. Pity poor Bob Meusel. All he did was hit .478 - unfortunately the rest of his team hit just .146 (21 for 144). Not gonna get it done I'm afraid. They were kinda pushing their luck in the previous round against the 1910 Athletics, and this time lady luck ran out.

Bob Grim captured the MVP for the 1954 Bombers, going 2-0 with a 0.66 ERA in 2 starts. Nothing to see here really folks. No real close games outside of Game 2 where the 1954 Yankees overcame a 1-0 deficit after 6 innings. Other than that, the team that grabbed the lead won the game, period. Not really much else to say. The Series Recap below:
