what year did the new york yankees win their first world series?
1923
by 1923, the teams no longer shared the polo grounds, as giants owner charles stoneham had attempted to evict the yankees in 1920. although the attempt was unsuccessful, and stoneham and the yankees' owners agreed to a two-year lease renewal, the giants decided against giving the yankees an extension after 1922. the treatment pushed the yankees into seeking their own stadium. in 1921, the team bought a plot of land in the bronx, and the construction crew finished the new ballpark before the 1923 season. yankee stadium, a triple-deck facility, was originally designed to hold more than 55,000 spectators; it was later able to hold over 70,000. writer peter carino called the stadium "a larger and more impressive facility than anything yet built to house a baseball team." at yankee stadium's inaugural game on april 18, 1923, ruth hit the first home run in the stadium, which sportswriter fred lieb named "the house that ruth built" as the yankees would not have needed such a large stadium without the ruth-driven attendance. ruth himself had a resurgence after receiving vocal criticism for his 1922 world series performance. he shared the mlb lead with cy williams by hitting 41 home runs in the 1923 season, and had a career-best .393 batting average; his performance earned him the al most valuable player (mvp) award. the yankees finished first for the third consecutive year, and faced the giants again in the 1923 world series. giants outfielder casey stengel hit game-winning home runs in two of the first three games of the world series, but ruth's three home runs helped the yankees win in six games for their first mlb title. off the field, ruppert purchased huston's share of the yankees for $1,250,000, assuming full ownership of the club.
