"The Yankees waited 18 years to win their first pennant, and then took 21 flags in the next 35 years! This amazing record was made by such great players as outfielder Bob Meusel and the immortal Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth. Stars like Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey and pitchers Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing teamed with infielders Tony Lazzeri and Red Rolfe to write baseball history in the 1930s before outfielders Joe DiMaggio, Tom Henrich and George Selkirk."
