Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I wikitoria te Yankees i te AL East e 11 nga keemu i runga i a Baltimore, i te whakarite i to ratau ahua tuatahi mai i te 1964. I te
I te tau 1976 American League Championship Series, i tākaro rātau ki Kansas City. Ko te whakaekenga o te turanga, tae atu ki te peeke peeke i taea ai e te Royals te tuatoru o te turanga a George Brett ki te mahi i nga hapa nui e rua, i awhina i a New York ki te wikitoria i te Keemu Tuatahi, engari i wikitoria a Kansas City e rua o nga toru e whai ake nei. Ko te kowhiringa a Martin mo Ed Figueroa ki te tuku i te Keemu Tuarima i te Yankee Stadium he tautohetohe na te mea kaore a Figueroa i pai te tuku i te mutunga o te waa ka ngaro i te Keemu Tuarua, engari he pai tana ahua ka awhina i nga Yankees ki te 6 × 3 i te wahanga tuawaru i te wa i taurite ai a Brett i te keemu me te home run e toru. Kaore a Martin i tuku i te home run ki a ia, a he korerorero a ia me te kaikawe e whai ake nei, a John Mayberry, i awhina i te whakaoho i nga Yankees mai i to raatau whakaponokore i te home run a Brett.

I tutaki nga Yankees ki te toa o te ao o Reds i te 1976 World Series, a ka ngaro i roto i nga keemu e wha. I peia a Martin i te kēmu tuawha, i te Yankee Stadium, i muri i tana huri i tētahi pōro ki te kaiwhakawa Bruce Froemming, ko ia anake te Yankee i peia mai i tētahi kēmu o te World Series.
