Unbelievable MLB Dynasties That Crumbled Before the World Series Crown
4. 1942 New York Yankees (1.97)
The 1942 Yankees (103-51) were more of a pitching-and-defense type of team than they were in the Ruth years. These Yanks have the 41st-best D-TRACR of all time, but only the 154th-best O-TRACR despite having Joe DiMaggio. New York lost to a St. Louis Cardinals team that ranks 16th in the modern era, per TRACR, with Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter leading the way. These Yankees rank 17th overall, but fourth on this list no one wants to be on.
5. 1912 New York Giants (1.92)
The Giants opened the 1912 season 54-11 before finishing 103-48 behind a great pitching staff that included Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson. New York, however, lost in the World Series to the Boston Red Sox 4-3 after Fred Snodgrass dropped a fly ball in the final game.
