Many experts consider the 1927 New York Yankees to be the greatest MLB team ever assembled. Their pitching was superb with Hall of Fame arms like Dutch Ruehter, Herb Pennock, and Joe Gaird and legends such as Waite Hoyt and Wilcy Moore were on staff as well. The regulars consisted of the Murderers Row of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Earle Combs, Ray Morehart, Cedric Durst and the gang. The won 110 games that season and then swept a very good Pittsburgh Pirates team in the World Series. The team also had the Record Home Run race between Gehrig and Ruth that set record attendance figures in almost every ball park they played in.
