The 2023 season is set to the 100th anniversary of the Yankees’ first ever World Series championship in 1923. That Babe Ruth-led team finally broke through and won a title, kicking off a dynastic era that would help beget several more dynastic eras, with the team becoming the winningest in all of MLB.
I say “finally broke through” because the 1923 World Series was their first victory, but it wasn’t their first time making it to the Fall Classic. They had previously fallen short against the Giants in both the 1921 and ‘22 World Series.
