2006 Cardinals and 2009 Yankees
Last two teams that won it all in the first year of their new ballpark (coincidentally named after their previous ballparks). What are the other teams?

The '23 Yankees did it.

1885 C. White Stockings won their exhibition post-season with West Side Park.
1967 Cardinals won in the 1st full year of Busch. |

I don't count that because that series was 3-3-1. No one really won it.

The 1991 White Sox should have done it, they had a very strong team, good pitching, good defense except at 1st base, and a brand new ballpark to inspire them, or so the theory went.
Then they played the first game at New Comiskey Park, and were beaten 16-0 by the Tigers. So much for that theory.

The Dodgers won 102 games in their '62 Dodger Stadium debut season...and that's all I'm going to say.
