4. October 1-2, 1949: Yankees, 5-4, 5-3

The Lost Weekend The Red Sox, leading by a game with two to play, are beaten by a pneumonia-weakened Joe DiMaggio (pictured) and the Yankees in both games. Johnny Lindell homered to win the first game, 5-4, and the Yanks beat Ellis Kinder, who had won 15 straight starts, in the second, 5-3. It would be 19 years before Sox owner Tom Yawkey would set foot again in Yankee Stadium.
