Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3418311, member: 289"] New York Pennants I wondered if there have been more pennants won by New York City American League or National League teams. The answer seems obvious with the great historical success of the Yankees but they never won one until 1921. The National League began in 1876. New York teams had had plenty of success there before the Yankees ever existed and the Dodgers won a pennant in the then major league American Association in 1889 before they jumped to the more established league. You are adding the combined histories of the Giants, the Dodgers and the Mets together. That shoudlb e quite a total in its own right. So here goes: (World Champions in bold) 1884 New York Metropolitans AA (Lost to the NL’s Providence Grays) 1888 New York Giants NL (Beat the St. Louis Browns of the AA for the World Championship) 1889 New York Giants NL (Beat the Brooklyn Bridegrooms of the AA for the World Championship) 1889 Brooklyn Bridegrooms AA (Dodgers) 1890 Brooklyn Bridegrooms NL (Dodgers- The series between the NL and AA was abandoned but there still was an AA so no World Champion this year) 1904 New York Giants NL (There was no World Series and thus no World Champion, since the AL had won the series the year before) 1905 New York Giants NL 1911 New York Giants NL 1912 New York Giants NL 1913 New York Giants NL 1916 Brooklyn Robins NL (Dodgers) 1917 New York Giants NL 1920 Brooklyn Robins NL (Dodgers) 1921 New York Giants NL 1921 New York Yankees AL 1922 New York Giants NL 1922 New York Yankees AL 1923 New York Giants NL 1923 New York Yankees AL 1924 New York Giants NL 1926 New York Yankees AL 1927 New York Yankees AL 1928 New York Yankees AL 1932 New York Yankees AL 1933 New York Giants NL 1936 New York Yankees AL 1936 New York Giants NL 1937 New York Yankees AL 1937 New York Giants NL 1938 New York Yankees AL 1939 New York Yankees AL 1941 New York Yankees AL 1941 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1942 New York Yankees AL 1943 New York Yankees AL 1947 New York Yankees AL 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1949 New York Yankees AL 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1950 New York Yankees AL 1951 New York Yankees AL 1951 New York Giants NL 1952 New York Yankees AL 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1953 New York Yankees AL 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1954 New York Giants NL 1955 New York Yankees AL 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1956 New York Yankees AL 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers NL 1957 New York Yankees AL 1958 New York Yankees AL 1960 New York Yankees AL 1961 New York Yankees AL 1962 New York Yankees AL 1963 New York Yankees AL 1964 New York Yankees AL 1969 New York Mets NL 1973 New York Mets NL 1976 New York Yankees AL 1977 New York Yankees AL 1978 New York Yankees AL 1981 New York Yankees AL 1986 New York Mets NL 1996 New York Yankees AL 1998 New York Yankees AL 1999 New York Yankees AL 2000 New York Yankees AL 2000 New York Mets NL 2001 New York Yankees AL 2003 New York Yankees AL 2009 New York Yankees AL 2015 New York Mets NL New York Yankees- 40 Pennants, 28 Championships New York Giants- 17 Pennants, 7 Championships Brooklyn Dodgers- 11 Pennants, 1 Championship New York Mets- 5 Pennants, 2 Championships Original New York Mets- 1 Pennant 0 Championships Total- 74 Pennants, 38 Championships So the Yankees have won 40 of the 74 pennants and 28 of 38 championships. It’s tough even for three franchises to beat them. There have been 15 Subway Series: 1889, (although there wasn’t a subway back then), 1921, 1922, 1923, 1936, 1937, 1941, 1947, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 2000 [/QUOTE]
