Who played for the 1939 Yankees? Revisiting one of the most dominating ensembles in MLB history 

The 1939 Yankees were one of the best teams in baseball history. They won an incredible 106 games for a .702 winning percentage. Manager Joe McCarthy led them to the World Series title as they blasted the Cincinnati Reds to a four-game sweep.
