American League champions

The 1932 New York Yankees season was the team's 30th season. The team finished with a record of 107–47–2 (), winning their seventh pennant and finishing 13 games ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics. New York was managed and owned by future Hall of Famers Joe McCarthy and Jacob Ruppert, respectively, and the general manager was future Hall-of-Famer Ed Barrow.

For the third straight season, the Yankees fielded nine players who would eventually be enshrined in the Hall of Fame (Earle Combs, Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing, Babe Ruth, and Joe Sewell). This is the most all time, tied with the previous year's team as well as the 1930 and 1933 Yankees teams. The same nine Hall of Famers played for the 1931, 1932, and 1933 teams, with the 1930 team differing only by not having Joe Sewell and instead featuring Waite Hoyt.

The Yankees played their home games at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they swept the Chicago Cubs.

The 1932 Yankees became the first team in MLB history to go an entire season without being shut out. Only two teams since, the 2000 Cincinnati Reds and 2020 Los Angeles Dodgers (in a shortened 60-game season) have gone an entire season without being shut out, though the Dodgers' season was shortened to 60 games.

Regular season

June 3, 1932: Lou Gehrig became the first player in the 20th century to hit four home runs in one game.
June 3, 1932: Tony Lazzeri had a natural cycle (hit a single, double, triple and home run in that order) that was also completed with a grand slam. This event is often overlooked because it was the same game in which Lou Gehrig hit four home runs.

Miller Huggins

On May 30, 1932, the Yankees dedicated a monument to their former manager, Miller Huggins. Huggins was the first of many Yankees personnel granted this honor. The monument was placed in front of the flagpole in center field at Yankee Stadium. an area which eventually became "Monument Park", dedicated in 1976. The monument calls Huggins "A splendid character who made priceless contributions to baseball."

Babe Ruth's called shot

Babe Ruth's called shot was the home run hit by Babe Ruth in the fifth inning of Game 3 of the 1932 World Series, held on October 1, 1932, at Wrigley Field in Chicago. During the at bat, Ruth made a pointing gesture, which existing film confirms, but the exact nature of his gesture is ambiguous. It was confirmed 88 years later in a radio clip by none other than Lou Gehrig, Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers during the at-bat. It was supposedly a declaration that he would hit a home run to this part of the park. On the next pitch, Ruth hit a home run to center field.
