殺人打線は歴史上最も優れたチームの一つと言われる1920年代後半の野球チームのニューヨーク・ヤンキースのことである。特に1927年のニューヨーク・ヤンキース（英語版）打線の１番打者から６番打者までのアール・コームス、マーク・コーニグ（英語版）、ベーブ・ルース、ルー・ゲーリッグ、ボブ・ミューゼル、トニー・ラゼリを指す。

最初の殺人打線[編集]

「殺人打線」という言葉は元々、1918年にスポーツ記者がベーブ・ルースが移籍してくる前の当時のヤンキース打線を評していったものである。1918年の新聞記事にはこうある。「ヤンキースのファンは打撃陣を『殺人打線』と認識するようになった。それは１番打者から６番打者までの６人から成る－フランク・ギルホーレー（英語版）、ロジャー・ペキンポー, フランク・ベーカー, デル・プラット（英語版）、ウォーリー・ピップ、そしてピング・ボディー（英語版）だ。この６人はあらゆる投手の投球を打ち続けている。」[1]

1927年のヤンキース[編集]

普通「殺人打線」と言えば、ベーブ・ルースとルー・ゲーリックのチームとなりつつあった1920年台中盤のヤンキースを連想させるもので、特に1927年のヤンキース打線の中心選手たちのことを言う。

ゼネラルマネージャーのエド・バローもそれに大きく貢献しただろう。しかしこのチームを築いたのは当時のオーナーだったジェイコブ・ルパートの功績によるとされている。7月のワシントン・セネタース (1901-1960年)との試合では、21–1で大勝し、セネタースの一塁手であるジョー・ジャッジ（英語版）に、「彼らは相手を打ち負かすだけでなく、心まで引き裂いてしまう。いっそシーズンが終わって欲しいよ。"と言わしめた。[2]

Season results[編集]

The 1927 season was particularly spectacular by baseball standards for the Yankees. After losing in the 1926 World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals, they went 110–44 the next year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 World Series. Only four teams have won more regular season games: the 1906 Chicago Cubs and the 2001 Seattle Mariners with 116, the 1998 Yankees with 114 and the 1954 Cleveland Indians with 111. However, the 1998 Yankees and 2001 Mariners played in 162-game schedules. Both the Cubs and the Indians lost in the World Series, while the Mariners lost to the Yankees in the 2001 ALCS. The 1998 Yankees went 11–2 in the playoffs, sweeping the San Diego Padres in the World Series.

The 1927 Yankees batted .307, slugged .489, scored 975 runs, and outscored their opponents by a record 376 runs. Center fielder Earle Combs had a career best year, batting .356 with 231 hits, left fielder Bob Meusel batted .337 with 103 RBIs, and second baseman Tony Lazzeri drove in 102 runs. Gehrig batted .373, with 218 hits, 52 doubles, 18 triples, 47 home runs, a then record 175 RBIs, slugged at .765, and was voted A.L. MVP. Ruth amassed a .356 batting average, 164 RBIs, 158 runs scored, walked 137 times, and slugged .772. Most notably, his 60 home runs that year broke his own record and remained the Major League mark for 34 years until Roger Maris broke it by one with 61; however, just like the 1998 Yankees and 2001 Mariners, this was done in a 162-game schedule, a fact that Commissioner Ford Frick wanted noted when the single-season home run record was to be referenced.[3] The pitching staff led the league in ERA at 3.20, and included Waite Hoyt, who went 22–7, which tied for the league lead, and Herb Pennock, who went 19–8. Wilcy Moore won 16 as a reliever. The 1927 Yankees would eventually send six players along with manager Miller Huggins and president Ed Barrow to the Baseball Hall of Fame; only the 1928 Yankees had more with nine players along with Huggins and Barrow. Three other Yankee pitchers had ERAs under 3.00 that season. After sweeping the Pirates in the Series, the Yankees repeated the feat by sweeping the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series. The Yankees remain the only team to ever sweep the World Series in consecutive years; the Yankee teams of 1938–1939 and 1998–1999 repeated the feat.

Legacy[編集]

The term "Murderers' Row" is commonly used as a descriptor for teams with formidable talent.[4][5]

During the 2006 ALDS, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland referred to the 2006 Yankees as "Murderers' Row and Cano" since the entire lineup consisted of players such as Johnny Damon, Derek Jeter, Bobby Abreu, Gary Sheffield, Hideki Matsui, Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, Jorge Posada and new second baseman Robinson Canó all of whom would have multiple All-Star game appearances over their careers. Despite Leyland's nomenclature, the team did not have the success of the original 1927 team as they were defeated by the Tigers in that series.

In 2016, ESPN announced 1927: The Diary of Myles Thomas, part a new genre of storytelling known as "real-time historical fiction."[6] The core of the project is a historical novel in the form of a diary of Myles Thomas, written by Douglas Alden, complemented by a wealth of fact-based content from the season, all published along the same timeline as the events unfolded almost 90 years ago. Through Myles Thomas’s diary entries, additional essays and real-time social-media components (including Twitter[7]) “re-living” that famous Yankees season, the goal is to explore the rarefied nexus of baseball, jazz and Prohibition — defining elements of the remarkable world that existed in 1927. The diary runs the length of the full 1927 season, from April 13 through October 10, 1927.[8]
