New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays August 2, 2010

Although the Yankees lost Gehrig to the disease which claimed his life and now bears his name, they kept on rolling.

They won three more consecutive pennants in 1941-42-43. They beat the Dodgers in 1941, and split the next two with the Cardinals. McCarthy resigned after three straight middle-of-the-pack finishes and Bucky Harris led the team to another championship in 1947, during which Yogi Berra made his debut.
