1998 New York Yankees (#4) 4, 1921 New York Giants (#61) 0
MVP: Bernie F Williams (NYY 1998) .444/.444/1.000, 3 HR, 7 RBI
The Giants were completely outmatched in this series, with the Yankees not only sweeping, but making it look easy. David Cone pitched 8.0 innings of 4-hit, 1-run ball in Game 1, as four of his teammates hit home runs. Game 2 was even worse for the Giants' pitching, as Bernie Williams went 3-for-5 with 2 home runs, and the Giants gave up home runs to 3 other Yankees, and 5 other Yankees had 2 hits apiece (including Daryl Strawberry who came into the game in the 7th inning). The Giants led Game 3 2-0 after 5 innings, but the Yankees scored 3 in the 6th and 2 in the 7th to take that one, too. The Yankees scored all of the runs they needed in Game 4 in the 1st inning, scoring 3 on 3 singles and a double. The Giants managed to score 2, but it wasn't enough.
Scores:
NYY 6 NYG 1
NYY 10 NYG 2
NYY 5 NYG 2
NYY 4 NYG 2
The 1998 Yankees' next opponent will be the 1964 Cardinals, who beat the 1982 Cardinals in 7 games.
