Listen to the radio broadcast Starters: Hadley vs. Fitzsimmons WP: Bump Hadley   LP: Freddie Fitzsimmons HR: NYY: Gehrig (2nd), NYG: Ripple (5th)

Game 1 was all about Hubbell. The 26-game winner held the Bronx Bombers to seven hits as the Giants took the opener, 6-1. The Yankees exploded for seven runs in the third inning of the following game, and evened the Series with an 18-4 drubbing.

That set the stage for Game 3. The reeling Giants needed a strong pitching performance to bounce back from their Game 2 debacle, and Freddie Fitzsimmons was up to the task. After allowing a leadoff home run to Gehrig in the second, Fat Freddie settled down and stymied his pinstriped foes. But Bump Hadley was just as stingy for the Yankees, if not as efficient, surrendering his only run on a fifth-inning blast by Jimmy Ripple.

The Yankees finally broke through in the eighth on an RBI single by shortstop Frankie Crosetti, and that was all the offense they needed. Despite scattering 11 hits, Hadley and reliever Pat Malone refused to allow any more runs. The crafty Fitzsimmons pitched a magnificent complete game, but two of the four hits he surrendered proved costly, and the Giants fell 2-1.

If the Giants had mustered enough offense in that early, yet pivotal game, their dominant pitching staff with its league-leading 3.46 ERA might have made the difference. However, the Yankees proved to be the total package; a team complete with strong pitching to go along with their Hall of Fame bats. The 1936 club turned out to be the front end of a new dynasty, a juggernaut that won the World Series over the Giants, four games to two, and each of the next three championships as well.
