Iowa native and MLB pitcher George Pipgras led the New York Yankees to a 6-2 victory in Game 2 of the 1927 World Series by hurling a complete game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field on Oct. 6. The Yankees would sweep the Pirates to win the championship. “Those ’27 Yankees had everything. I don’t think any ball club in history could beat them. They were the tops,” Pipgras later told author Donald Honig. Photo courtesy of Hunt Auctions
