World Series Home Runs 1903-1950 in the American League

True fans who were taught to love a team will set aside those favorites for the Fall Classic. League rivalries become the main focus of the show and the long ball has made taken our breath away. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present every American League World Series home run hit from 1903 to 1950.

"The young, thrifty Marlins made the Yankees look old and overpaid. By the final game they had Andy Pettitte shouting angrily into his glove and Jeter muttering to himself. And when Beckett tagged Jorge Posada for the final out, the Marlins became the first visiting team to celebrate a World Series title at Yankee Stadium since the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981." - Sportswriter Steven Wine in Yahoo! Sports (October 25, 2003)
