The New York Yankees are the greatest franchise in sports history, but for the first 18 years of their existence they were the laughing stock of the American League. That all changed in 1920 when they went out and got Babe Ruth from the Red Sox, but they would need to wait another year before finally getting a pennant. In 1921 the World Series was a cross-town affair with the Yankees battling the Giants at the Polo Grounds. Here we see the moment that the Yankees played in their first ever World Series game as the New York Giants leadoff hitter Frankie Frisch grounds out against Carl Mays. A rare image of the first ever World Series game ever played by the New York Yankees!
