[edit] Season summary
The 1947 Yankees, led by MVP Joe DiMaggio, won the AL Pennant by 12 games over the Detroit Tigers. They would play the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series and win a close-fought 7 game series that featured memorable moments like Cookie Lavagetto's walk-off double breaking a potential no-hitter by Bill Bevens in Game 4, and Al Gionfriddo's famous catch that robbed DiMaggio of a potential home run.
