1936 Yankees Dominated Season and World Series Feats
1936 season highlights star Jace McCarthy praising the Yankees as the finest club the era, with Gehrig DiMaggio Lazzeri Dickey and Selkirk all excelling.

Lou Gehrig extended his consecutive games streak to 1208, DiMaggio inspired, and Feller emerged for Cleveland with early season dominance.
