Between 1949 and 1959, the Yankees won seven World Series titles, including an unmatched five in a row (49-53 ... along with titles in 56 and 58), and nine American League pennants (losing World Series to the Dodgers in 1955 and the Braves in 1957). For good measure, they would appear in five straight World Series to open the 1960s ... winning titles in 61 and 62, while losing in 60, 63, and 64.
Managed by the irascible "Ol Perfessor" Casey Stengel, the Yankees boasted many stars. None was bigger than the iconic Mickey Mantle (pictured below).
