The
1932 World Series featured the
New York Yankees and the
Chicago Cubs. The Yankees won the series in four games, three of which were shutouts. The Yankees were led by their powerhouse lineup featuring Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, while the Cubs had a strong pitching staff, led by Guy Bush and Lon Warneke. The Yankees dominated the series, outscoring the Cubs 27-9. Ruth hit three home runs in the series and Gehrig hit two, while the Cubs were only able to muster a single home run from Riggs Stephenson. The Yankees won the series four games to none, claiming their third championship in a row.
The
1932 Stanley Cup Final was contested by the
Toronto Maple Leafs and the
New York Rangers. The Maple Leafs were the defending Stanley Cup champions and the Rangers had won the Stanley Cup in
1928. The Maple Leafs won the best-of-five series three games to none, with one tie, to win their second consecutive Stanley Cup. The series was notable for the Maple Leafs' "Kid Line" of Charlie Conacher, Joe Primeau, and Busher Jackson, who combined for 16 points in the series. Game 3 was particularly memorable, as the Maple Leafs scored three goals in the third period to come back from a 3–0 deficit and win the game 4–3. The Maple Leafs would go on to win the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive season and the third time in franchise history.
