New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays September 4, 2010

Only one word can be used to describe the 1927 Yankees, and that is dominant, many observers rank them as baseball's greatest team ever. The Yankees offense was so deviating to AL pitchers they earned the nickname "Murder's Row". As a team the Yankees led the league in hitting (.307) and slugging (.489, still a major league record). Babe Ruth became the first player ever to hit 60 HR, and was over shadowed the MVP year by his teammate Lou Gehrig who drove in 173 runs, and batted .373. Ruth himself would have 164 RBI, along with Bob Meusle's 103, and Tony Lazzeri's 102 would give the Yanks 4 batters with more than 100 RBI. Their pitching also dominated compiling a 3.20 ERA, which was three-fourths of a run per game lower than the ERA of the next best team. The Yanks would win 110 game en-route to a 19 game margin over the second place Philadelphia A's. The Yanks dominance carried on to the World Series where the Yanks only trailed twice en-route to cruising to 4-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Game 1 and 4 were close, the Yankees won each by one run, including win the final game in walk off fashion after Pirates pitcher Johnny Miljus uncorked a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth.
