The Yankees are going for their 28th World Series win. Take a look back at every year the team won the title.

Crowds enter the stadium for the 1923 World Series.

The Yankees lost the World Series against the then-New York Giants (now San Francisco) in 1921 and 1922. But in 1923, they clinched the championship title after six games. Pitchers Herb Pennock and Joe Bush and hitters Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel were instrumental in the win.

Four years later, the Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 World Series.
The Yankees beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1928 World Series.

The 1928 World Series was over in four games, thanks to pitcher Waite Hoyt and hitters Cedric Durst, Tony Lazzeri, Gehrig, and the legendary Ruth.

Then, in 1932, they swept the Chicago Cubs.

The Yankees won four of six games in the 1936 World Series. It was their first time battling the Giants for the championship title in over a decade.

Gomez and Ruffing shared the spotlight on the mound with Pat Malone, Monte Pearson, and Bump Hadley. While Ruth retired in 1935, Gehrig and Lazzeri continued to bring in runs along with Bill Dickey, Frank Crosetti, and Joe DiMaggio.

This was the beginning of a four-year World Series streak for the Yankees.

The following year, the Yankees beat the same team again.

On the mound, starter Bill Bevens pitched eight hitless innings in game four. Francis Shea, nicknamed “Spec,” contributed offensively and defensively by pitching strikes and driving in runs. Reliever Joe Page closed the series in game seven.

The same teams faced off again the following year, and the Yankees clinched the title.

Willie Randolph and Thurman Munson were big hitters. But Reggie Jackson was the star. After hitting multiple homers and sending two batters home, Jackson led the Yankees to victory in game six, earning him the nickname “Mr. October.”

The following year, the Yankees matched up with the same team and were victorious.
