1969 CHICAGO CUBS vs 1932 NEW YORK YANKEES

1932 New York Yankees
Record: 107-47
Finish: Won World Series over Cubs
Manager: Joe McCarthy
Home Park: Yankee Stadium
Runs scored: 1002
Runs allowed: 724
Team AVG: .286
Team ERA: 3.98
Home Runs: 160
Key Players: Babe Ruth OF (.341, 41, 137), Lou Gehrig 1B (.349, 34, 151), Tony Lazzari 2B (.300, 15, 113)

Any team that scored over 1000 runs and hits close to .290 in the modern era has to be feared. This Yankees team won 107 games and pounded almost everyone in their path, some even argue that this team was just as good as the 1927 team. The Babe leads the offense in the year in which he "called his shot", men were rarely stranded on base with this team. The pitching was led by Lefty Gomez, but wasnt the staple of this team, and didnt need to be; Gomez won 24 games with an ERA over 4.00.

1969 Chicago Cubs
Record: 92-70
Finish: 2nd place in NL East behind NY Mets
Manager: Leo Durocher
Home Park: Wrigley Field
Runs scored: 720
Runs allowed: 611
Team AVG: .253
Team ERA: 3.34
Home Runs: 142
Key Players: Ron Santo 3B (.289, 29, 123), Fergie Jenkins SP (21-15, 3.21), Billy Williams OF (.293, 21, 95)

The heartbreak Cubs led the division for most of the season before their September fall. The team does have some star power however with Ernie Banks, Jenkins, and Billy Williams. Still many wonder if this team should have even been invited to this tournament, and up against the mighty Yankees many are already talking sweep. What kind of showing will this team put forth?

Pitching matchups
Game 1 at Yankee Stadium: Fergie Jenkins (21-15, 3.21) vs Left Gomez (24-7, 4.08)
Game 2 at Yankee Stadium: Bill Hands (20-14, 2.49) vs Red Ruffing (18-7, 3.09)
Game 3 at Wrigley Field: George Pipgras (16-9, 4.19) vs Ken Holtzman (17-13, 3.58)
