More New York Yankees’ Consecutive Pennant Notes

The New York Yankees also won as many as three consecutive American League Pennants four other times in addition to the three times cited during the incredible 14 pennants in 16 seasons run from (1949-1964).

Those occasions were (1926-1928), (1936-1939), (1976-1978) and (1998-2000).

A pair of “Joes” McCarthy and Torre guided them to not only consecutive pennants, but World Series wins from (1936-1939) and (1998-2000) respectively.

While McCarthy managed 4 straight World Series winners, topping Torre whose 2001 Yankees were denied a 4th straight when the Arizona Diamondbacks, getting a too often forgotten, key hit from Tony Womack rallied in the last inning, one Yankees’ manager won 5 straight World Series. His name is Casey Stengel.
