1930 World Champions

Giants

Manager: Scott Manning

The New York Giants yet again took the crown as they defeated the New York Yankees in a subway series. This is the Giants' third straight championship, one short of the record set by the Senators from 1920-23. We continue to see dominance from the same teams year-in and year-out, although the AL Central has tightened up a bit the past few years. The Yankees set records in four different offensive team categories.
