Sports season
The 1927 Major League Baseball season began in April and ended with the World Series in October. The New York Yankees , whose lineup featured Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig , dominated the American League with 110 wins. The Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. No no-hitters were thrown during the season.[1] [2]
This was the sixth of eight seasons that "League Awards", a precursor to the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (introduced in 1931), were issued.
