New York Yankees: Anniversary of Yankee manager Joe McCarthy passing

Error 0:

At the age of 90 years old New York Yankees’ manager, Joe McCarthy passed away from pneumonia in Buffalo, New York on this day 41 years ago. His strict coaching style led the team to become one of the most dominant franchises in baseball, racking up a total of seven World Series championships and eight pennants under his tenure with the Yankees.

From 1936-1939, McCarthy led the Yankees to four consecutive World Series championships where two years later, he’d begin a three-year span of two World Series wins in that time.
