Description
This program was bought at a game held at Yankee Stadium on July 5, 194/9. Although the Yankees lost the game to the Boston Red Sox 4-2, they would go on to finish the season 97-57, narrowly edging out Boston for the American League pennant,. In the World Series the Yankees would defeat their cross-town rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, four games to one. It was the Yankees 16th championship.
In Casey Stengel's first year as Yankee's manager, the 1949 Yankees roster were led by a strong pitching staff as well as outfielder Joe Dimaggio, Catcher Yogi Berra, and shortstop Phil Rizzuto.
