“…The last time the Yankees swept a five-game series against the Red Sox was in 1951, and the last time that happened in Boston was in 1943, while Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio and most young and healthy men were in military service…bashing Boston in outscoring them 47-25 over three days and two early morning, the Yankees relied on their pitching to win the sleepy series finale…” reported a satisfied New York Times.
