The Yankees are going for their 28th World Series win. Take a look back at every year the team won the title.

The Yankees lost the World Series against the then-New York Giants (now San Francisco) in 1921 and 1922. But in 1923, they clinched the championship title after six games. Pitchers Herb Pennock and Joe Bush and hitters Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel were instrumental in the win.

In 1927, the Yankees swept the World Series for the first time, meaning they won the first four games, eliminating the need for more.

Pennock, Ruth, and Meusel were, again, some of the key players, as was Lou Gehrig, the first baseman and power hitter who played his first world championship that year.

The 1928 World Series was over in four games, thanks to pitcher Waite Hoyt and hitters Cedric Durst, Tony Lazzeri, Gehrig, and the legendary Ruth.

In 1932, the Yankees earned their first World Series title since the 1920s. They beat the Chicago Cubs in four games.

Red Ruffing, Wilcy Moore, and Lefty Gomez held it down at the pitcher's mound, while Ruth, Gehrig, and Lazzeri were power hitters.

The fifth inning of game three went down in history after Ruth seemingly gestured to center field while at bat with two strikes before hitting a home run.

The Yankees won four of six games in the 1936 World Series. It was their first time battling the Giants for the championship title in over a decade.

Gomez and Ruffing shared the spotlight on the mound with Pat Malone, Monte Pearson, and Bump Hadley. While Ruth retired in 1935, Gehrig and Lazzeri continued to bring in runs along with Bill Dickey, Frank Crosetti, and Joe DiMaggio.

This was the beginning of a four-year World Series streak for the Yankees.

The Yankees faced the Giants again in 1937, and they won in five games, thanks to powerful offensive work by Gehrig, DiMaggio, and George Selkirk, who replaced Ruth in right field.

Gomez and Ruffing were star pitchers, as were starter Monte Pearson and reliever Johnny Murphy.

The Yankees beat the 1938 Cubs team in four games, as they did six years earlier. Ruffing, Gomez, Murphy, and Pearson led the bullpen, as Crosetti, DiMaggio, Red Rolfe, and rookie Joe Gordon were instrumental hitters.

The Yankees faced the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series for the first time in 1939. They swept the Midwestern team in four games. Ruffing, Gomez, and Bump Hadley kept the Red's runs at bay, as did Pearson, who pitched seven innings with no hits in game two.

DiMaggio, Dickey, and Charlie Keller were the star hitters.

Although victorious, the 1939 Yankee team likely felt bittersweet, as the iconic Gehrig retired early in the season after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The Yankees beat the then-Brooklyn Dodgers (now Los Angeles) team in five games to clinch the championship title.

Star DiMaggio continued to drive in runs, as he did in previous World Series games, and so did Gordon and Keller.

Ruffing and starters Marius Russo and Ernie Bonham pitched during the series.

Fifteen years after the Yankees' 1928 championship win, the New York team beat the Cardinals again — this time, in five games. The series also served as a rematch after the Cardinals beat the Yankees in the 1942 World Series.

With DiMaggio serving in the military during World War II, Dickey and Billy Johnson led the Yankees' offense. Russo, Hank Borowy, and starter Spud Chandler were the star pitchers. Russo was also an instrumental hitter in the series.

The Yankees beat the Dodgers again in 1947. It was a close series, as the teams played all seven games.

Outfielders Johnny Lindell and Tommy Henrich were the power hitters, along with DiMaggio, who returned from war, and catcher Yogi Berra, who became the first pinch-hitter to ever hit a home run in a World Series that year.

On the mound, starter Bill Bevens pitched eight hitless innings in game four. Francis Shea, nicknamed "Spec," contributed offensively and defensively by pitching strikes and driving in runs. Reliever Joe Page closed the series in game seven.

The Yankees faced the Dodgers again two years later and clinched the title in five games.

Allie Reynolds and Page led the bullpen to victory, while several hitters came through, including Henrich, Johnny Mize, Cliff Mapes, and Bobby Brown.

This win started the Yankees' five-year steak as world champions — the longest in MLB history.

The Yankees won the 1950 World Series in four games in their first championship against the Phillies.

Reynolds and starters Vic Raschi and Whitey Ford owned the mound, while Brown, DiMaggio, Jerry Coleman, and Gene Woodling led the offense.

The Yankees won the World Series again in 1951 for their fourth victory against the Giants.

Pitching by Reynolds, Eddie Lopat, and reliever Bob Kuzava, and hits by DiMaggio and Hank Bauer, led them to victory in six games.

1952 marked the Yankees' fourth consecutive World Series win, the first time they had done so since the 1930s. They beat the Dodgers in seven games.

Raschi and Reynolds were star pitchers, as was Kuzava, who closed the series. Homers from the legendary Mickey Mantle, Berra, Mize, and talented second baseman Billy Martin brought in the runs.

In 1953, the Yankees got their fifth World Series win in a row — and their fifth victory against the Dodgers in the championship — in six games.

Mickey Mantle's multiple-run homers throughout the series and Martin's series batting average of .500 brought in wins with the tight pitching of Johnny Sain, who was also a strong hitter. Bauer scored the winning run in the final game.

After losing the World Series to the Dodgers for the first time in 1955, the Yankees came back the following year and beat the same team in seven games.

Ford led the bullpen with Johnny Kucks, Tom Sturdivant, and Don Larsen, who became the first to pitch a complete no-hitter in a World Series that year.

Mantle and Berra's multi-run homers led the offensive effort.

The Milwaukee Braves (now Atlanta) faced the Yankees for the first time in a World Series in 1957 and beat the New York team. It was the Brave's first time clinching the title since 1914.

The teams were up for a rematch in 1958, and this time, the Yankees won in seven games thanks to Ford, Larsen, and relief ace Ryne Duren's work on the mound and multi-run homers by Bauer and William Skowron, nicknamed "Moose."

The Braves haven't beaten the Yankees in a World Series since.

The Yankees faced the Reds for the second time in the 1961 World Series — and won in five games.

Skowron continued to lead offensively at bat and Ford defensively on the mound. Hector Lopez and Roger Maris were also power hitters. Maris broke a record for the most home runs produced in a single season. He scored his last of the year, no. 61, in the final game.

The Yankees matched up with the Giants for the seventh time in 1962 and clinched their fifth win against the team.

The Yankees won in seven games with exceptional pitching by Ford, Bill Stafford, and Ralph Terry. Maris, Clete Boyer, Tom Tresh, and Tony Kubek brought in the runs, and second baseman Bobby Richardson ended the series with an epic catch in game seven.

The Yankees faced the Dodgers in the World Series for the ninth time in 1977, giving them their seventh win against the team, which moved to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.

Willie Randolph and Thurman Munson were big hitters. But Reggie Jackson was the star. After hitting multiple homers and sending two batters home, Jackson led the Yankees to victory in game six, earning him the nickname "Mr. October."

The 10th World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers took place in 1978. The Yankees won again after six games, with Ron Guidry and Goose Gossage on the mound. Randolph, Munson, Bucky Dent, and Lou Piniella led the offense.

After nearly a decade without the championship title, the Yankees broke the eight-year slump in the 1996 World Series.

They faced the Braves for the third time for their second big win against the team, which moved to Atlanta in 1966.

David Cone, Andy Pettitte, Jimmy Key, and John Wetteland led the defensive efforts on the mound.

Bernie Williams led the offensive effort with Jim Leyritz and rookie Derek Jeter, who made his first World Series appearance that year.

The Yankees clinched the 1998 title with a four-game World Series against the San Diego Padres.

Pettitte, Cone, and Orlando Hernandez performed well on the mound, as did closer Mariano Rivera and ace David Wells.

Exceptional offensive and defensive work by shortstop Jeter, catcher Jorge Posada, third baseman Scott Brosius, and second baseman Chuck Knoblauch brought in outs and runs. Tino Martinez was another power hitter who helped lead the Yankees to their 24th World Series win.

The Yankees swept the Braves for their fourth World Series win against the team in 1999.

The offensive effort was led by Jeter, Martinez, Knoblauch, Posada, Leyritz, and Chad Curtis.

Cone, Rivera, and Roger Clemens held it down the mound.

The first and only time the Yankees faced the New York Mets in a World Series was in 2000.

The series ended with a Yankee victory after five games. It included the longest game in World Series history — 4 hours and 51 minutes.

The key pitchers were Pettitte, Clemens, Cone, Rivera, Jeff Nelson, and Mike Stanton. Hitters Jeter, Williams, David Justice, Jose Vizcaino, and Luis Sojo brought in the runs.

Nine years after their victory against the Mets, the Yankees beat the Phillies to clinch the title in six games.

Jeter led offensively with Mark Teixeira, Hideki Matsui, Alex Rodriguez, and Johnny Damon. Rivera, CC Sabathia, and A.J. Burnett were instrumental on the mound.

The Yankees haven't won a World Series in 15 years. Now, they have another chance to clinch the title with a strong team. Outfielders Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Alex Verdugo and infielders including Gleyber Torres, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and shortstop Anthony Volpe have led the way to the championship offensively and defensively, along with veteran power hitter Giancarlo Stanton.

In the 2024 World Series, the Yankees are going for no. 28.
