History, Comments, Contributions

The 1963 New York Yankees played the 61st season in team history. They finished with a record of 104-58, winning their 28th pennant, finishing 10 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago White Sox. New York was managed by Ralph Houk. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they were defeated by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 4 games, the first time the Yankees had ever suffered an unqualified sweep in Series play (they had lost 4 games to none with one tied game in 1922).

After leading the team to the World Series, manager Ralph Houk was promoted to the position of General Manager and replaced as skipper by Yogi Berra.
