    1921 NY Yankees

    1921 NEW YORK YANKEES By Alan Raylesberg The 1921 New York Yankees are the team that started it all. As the most successful franchise in baseball history, the Yankees (as of 2020) have won 27 World Series championships, 40 American League pennants, and 18 American League East titles.1 When Babe Ruth joined them in 1920, the Yankees had never won the pennant. Led by Ruth, that changed in 1921 as the Yankees won their first pennant, before losing to the New York Giants in the World Series. The Yankees would go on to win six pennants and three World Series during the decade as their dynasty began. The Yankees were one of eight teams when the American League began in 1901. Originally, they played in Baltimore and were known as the Orioles (no relation to the current Baltimore Orioles). In 1903 the team was sold and moved to New York City, where they played at Hilltop Park as the Highlanders. In 1913 they moved to the Polo Grounds as tenants of the New York Giants and were renamed the Yankees.2 The early versions of the Highlanders and Yankees did not meet with much success, never finishing higher than second in the American League. Everything changed in the winter of 1919 when the Boston Red Sox sold Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000. In 1920, his first season with the Yankees, Ruth shattered his own major-league record by belting 54 home runs3 as the Yankees finished third, three games behind the pennant- winning Cleveland Indians.4 In 1921 the Yankees finished first, ahead of the Indians, as the 26-year-old Ruth broke his own single-season home-run record yet again, hitting 59.5 After trailing Cleveland by a small margin for most of the season, the Yankees took three of four from the Indians in late September and won the pennant with a club record 98 wins.

    Steve's Powerpoint Presentations

    Steve Steinberg Media Kit Steve's PowerPoint Presentations Steve has given many presentations on early 20th century baseball in a wide range of settings, from national conventions and regional conferences to state historical societies and cruise ship events. His talks all draw heavily on vintage baseball photos with PowerPoint presentations that are informative, engaging, and entertaining. Steve’s focus and expertise is the 1910s and 1920s, the Golden Age of the National Pastime, when Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth starred on the national stage. The middle of that time period—around 1920— was a great turning point in the history of the game. That was when baseball transitioned from the low-scoring Deadball Era, exemplified by Cobb, to the high-scoring Lively Ball Era, led by Ruth. Steve tailors his talks to his audience, from the scholarly to the casual. He sees himself as a story teller and memory keeper. He relishes the opportunities to share the lives of forgotten baseball personalities and explain why they are remarkable and significant. Here are Steve’s PowerPoint presentations: Grover Cleveland Alexander, A Photograph Opens a Door to a Rare Joyous Time & Special Relationship Larry Ritter and Donald Honig wrote in The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time, “The years of Grover Cleveland Alexander were filled with as much glitter and glory, heartache and tragedy, as there is to be found in the history of American sports.” This presentation focuses on a rare period of joy in his difficult post-WWI life, with the help of rare images from his family life.
