New York was managed and owned by future Hall of Famers Joe McCarthy and Jacob Ruppert, respectively, and the general manager was future Hall-of-Famer Ed Barrow. For the third straight season, the Yankees fielded nine players who would eventually be enshrined in the Hall of Fame (Earle Combs, Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing, Babe Ruth, and Joe Sewell). This is the most all time, tied with the previous year's team as well as the 1930 and 1933 Yankees teams.Most Hall-of-Famers on an MLB team in a single season https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/baseball/player-batting-season-finder.cgi live https://archive.today/20260114221119/https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/dbxg6 January 14, 2026 January 14, 2026 Stathead The same nine Hall of Famers played for the 1931, 1932, and 1933 teams, with the 1930 team differing only by not having Joe Sewell and instead featuring Waite Hoyt. The Yankees played their home games at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they swept the Chicago Cubs. The 1932 Yankees became the first team in MLB history to go an entire season without being shut out. Only two teams since, the 2000 Cincinnati Reds and 2020 Los Angeles Dodgers (in a shortened 60-game season) have gone an entire season without being shut out.

During the at bat, Ruth made a pointing gesture, which existing film confirms, but the exact nature of his gesture is ambiguous. It was confirmed 88 years later in a radio clip by none other than Lou Gehrig, Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers during the at-bat. It was supposedly a declaration that he would hit a home run to this part of the park. On the next pitch, Ruth hit a home run to center field.
