1932 New York Yankees (#6) 4, 1935 Detroit Tigers (#59) 1
MVP: Lou Gehrig (NYY 1932) .524/.630/.905, 2 HR, 6 RBI
The Tigers looked like they were in it to win it in Game 1, scorching the Yankees for 11 runs, including 6 in the 6th. But the Yankees gave it right back and then some the rest of the series, including Games 2 and 4, which were both laughers. To be fair, the Tigers were up 5-1 after 3 innings in Game 4, but the Yankees scored 9 runs in the 4th to start to run away with it, and then in the 9th inning, already up 14-5, scored another 5 for good measure. Game 3 was much closer, with the Tigers down 7-4 but scoring 2 runs late in the game to make it interesting. A 1-2-3 9th inning eliminated any thoughts of finishing the comeback, however. The Tigers did make a comeback in Game 5, scoring the tying run in the bottom of the 9th on a Goose Goslin single. But the Yankees exploded for 4 runs in the 11th, taking the series.
Scores:
Det 11 NYY 1
NYY 13 Det 3
NYY 7 Det 6
NYY 19 Det 5
NYY 8 Det 4 (11)
The 1932 Yankees' next opponent will be the winner of the 1953 Yankees / 1951 Yankees matchup. So one Yankee/Yankee matchup will determine the next one.
