**Major League Baseball -kauden 1923** päätteeksi pelatussa World Series -ottelusarjassa kohtasivat kolmannen kerran peräkkäin New Yorkin paikalliskilpailijat toisensa. Sarja pelattiin *paras seitsemästä* -järjestelmällä. Yankees voitti Giants'in 4–2 saavuttaen ensimmäisen World Seriesin -voittonsa. Newyorkilaisten keskinäiset World Series kamppailut saivat nimen *Subway Series* New Yorkin metron mukaan.

Yankee Stadiumin avausottelu pelattiin 18. huhtikuuta 74 217 katsojan läsnä ollessa. Babe Ruth löi avajaislahjaksi kolmen juoksun homerin Yankeesin voittaessa Red Soxin 4-1. 7. huhtikuuta pelattiin tähän mennessä National Leaguen pisin avausottelu Brooklyn Robinsin ja Philadelphia Philliesin välillä. Neljäntoista pelatun vuoroparin jälkeen ottelu päättyi 5–5 tasapeliin.

Presidentti Warren G. Hardingin kuolemaa seuranneena päivänä 3. elokuuta peruttiin kaikki ottelut. Myös viikkoa myöhemmin, presidentin hautajaispäiväksi merkityt ottelut peruutettiin.
