1928 World Series

The Yankees beat the Cardinals in four games to win their third championship and become the first team to do back-to-back sweeps. Babe Ruth hit .625 (10 for 16) as the Yankees outscored their opponents by a combined score of 27–10. As he had done against the Cards in the 1926 Series, Ruth hit three home runs over the right field pavilion in Sportsman's Park in Game 4, the only player to do it in two different World Series through the 2026 season.

Ruth also set a Series record by collecting ten hits in four games, a feat not matched until Jackson Chourio did it...
