1952 New York Yankees (#57) 4, 1922 New York Giants (#72) 2
MVP: Eddie Lopat (NYY 1952) 2-0, 18.0 IP, 1.00 ERA, 4 K, 4 BB, 10 HA
Even though the series went 6 games, the Yankees seemed to be in control the entire way. The Giants stayed in it mainly due to pitcher Jesse Barnes, who went 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA, and also hit .429. Ross Youngs hit .500, but beside the two of them, no Giant regular hit over .227. Yankees pitching led the way for them, with Allie Reynolds and MVP Eddie Lopat getting two wins each, and being nearly unstoppable on the mound. Reynolds also hit .400 with 4 RBI (second most on the team). Mickey Mantle led the regulars with a .385 average, but only drove in 2 runs.
