1952 New York Yankees season

Season for the Major League Baseball team the New York Yankees March 2026 November 2013 New York Yankees 1952 World Series championsAmerican League champions American League Yankee Stadium New York City 95 59 y 1st Dan Topping and Del Webb George Weiss Casey Stengel WPIX WINS (AM)(Mel Allen, Bill Crowley, Art Gleeson, Joe DiMaggio) The 1952 New York Yankees season was the 50th season for the Yankees. The team finished with a record of 95–59, winning their 19th pennant, finishing two games ahead of the Cleveland Indians. New York was managed by Casey Stengel. The Yankees played their home games at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in seven games. This was their fourth consecutive World Series win, tying the record they had set during 1936–1939. It was also the first season that the Yankees aired their games exclusively on WPIX-TV, an arrangement that would last until the end of the 1998 season. The channel was also the home of the baseball Giants broadcasts from 1949; thus, it was the first time ever that the channel had broadcast both the AL and NL baseball teams from the city. In 2016, when WPIX resumed FTA broadcasts of Yankees games in association with the current cable broadcaster YES Network, the channel returned to being the sole FTA broadcaster for the city's MLB franchises, as it is also currently the FTA broadcaster for the New York Mets, the Yankees officially ended that partnership again in 2021.
