The 1937 New York Yankees season was their 35th season. The team finished with a record of 102âÂÂ52, winning their 9th pennant, finishing 13 games ahead of the Detroit Tigers. New York was managed by Joe McCarthy. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they beat the New York Giants in 5 games. This gave the Yankees a 3âÂÂ2 edge in overall series play against the Giants.
1937 saw significant changes in the layout of Yankee Stadium, as concrete bleachers were built to replace the aging wooden structure, reducing the cavernous "Death Valley" of left center and center considerably, although the area remained a daunting target for right-handed power hitters such as Joe DiMaggio.
