This was the first of the Yankees' 26 World Series championships. The Yankees opened their new Yankee Stadium in April on a Home Run by Babe Ruth , setting the tone for the season and this Series in which he hit three home runs along with drawing eight walks. The Giants' one bright spot was "Old Casey" Stengel , who hit game-winning homers in each of the two Giants' victories. Stengel was traded after the season leading him to quip later in life, "It's a good thing I didn't hit three homers in three games, or McGraw would have traded me to the Three-I League !". This marks the only time that three straight World Series have featured the same two teams. Managers: Miller Huggins (Yankees), John McGraw (Giants) Umpires: Billy Evans (AL), Hank O'Day (NL), Dick Nallin (AL), Bob Hart (NL) EXTERNAL LINKS
