Let's show some love to "Murderers' Row"

[the 'stache]

The 1927 New York Yankees might be the greatest offensive team in the history of baseball. The lineup, known as "Murderers' Row", gave opposing pitchers nightmares. As a team, the Bronx Bombers hit .307, scoring an incredible 976 runs in 144 games (6.8 runs per game!). Four of the first six batters in the lineup are immortalized as members of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, and a fifth may one day be enshrined.

Center Fielder Earl Combs was the leadoff hitter. "The Kentucky Colonel" hit .356 while leading the American League with 231 hits and 23 triples. He scored 137 times in 1927. Shortstop Mark Koenig hit .285 and scored 99 runs. After Koenig, things got particularly hairy for the other team's hurler. Right Fielder Babe Ruth batted third, hitting .356 with a new Major League Record of 60 home runs. "The Bambino" drove in 164 runs and tallied 417 total bases. Next up was the "Iron Horse", Lou Gehrig, who hit .373 with 47 home runs, leading the American league with 52 doubles and 175 RBI. 117 of Gehrig's 218 hits went for extra bases, and he led the league with 447 total bases. Bob Meusel hit .337 while driving in 103 runs. After Meusel, Hall of Famer Tony Lazzeri hit .309 with 18 home runs and 102 RBI. Third baseman Joe Dugan batted seventh, hitting .269, and catcher Pat Collins hit eighth, hitting .275.

In appreciation of the famed '27 Yankees, let's see some cards and pictures from your collections!
