The 1934 New York Yankees finished second in 1934 with a record of 94-60. Babe Ruth is at the end of his career. This is his last season in pinstripes. Next year he will be in Boston (NL). Still, he will appear in 106 games and have an exceptional year by any standards other than his own. Lou Gehrig (1b) and Bill Dickey (c) are the other big Yankee hitting stars in 1934. Lefty Gomez and Johnny Allen are the Yankees big starting pitchers, with Johnny Murphy coming out of the bullpen. The Yankees are in between World Series at this point. Having won it in 1932, they'll win it again from 1936 through 1939. The legendary Joe McCarthy is in his fourth year as the Yankees' skipper.
