In 1964, Yogi Berra took the reins of the New York Yankees for the first time, leading a power-packed Yankees squad to yet another American League pennant. The Yanks won 99 games, finishing one game ahead of the Chicago White Sox to set up a World Series matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately for the Yankees, Bob Gibson kept their bats in check as the Cardinals fought to a seven game World Series victory.
