Top 10 Wins Against the New York Yankees

The New York Yankees are perhaps the most despised franchise in all of sports. So any time a team wins a big series against them, it makes everyone's day. Here are the top 10 victories against the Yankees.

The Top Ten

  1. 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates

    The only walk-off home run to win Game 7 of the World Series was from Bill Mazeroski. The final score was 10-9 as the Pirates won the World Series.

  2. 2004 Boston Red Sox

    Down 3-0 in the ALCS, the Red Sox rallied to become the first MLB team in history to win four straight games after losing the first three to the Yankees. This propelled them to win it all in the World Series.

  3. 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers

    After seven failed attempts to beat New York in the Fall Classic, the Dodgers won their first and only World Series in Brooklyn against the Yankees in 1955. It was a complete-game shutout in Game 7 from Johnny Podres that did the trick.

  4. 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks

    Despite losing three straight games in Yankee Stadium to fall behind 3-2, the Diamondbacks won Game 6 to force a Game 7. There, they rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning against Mariano Rivera to end New York's chances of a four-peat.
