The Yankees owned the 1950s. During the '50s the Yankees won the A.L. pennant eight times (every year except for 1954 and 1959) and the World Series six out of their eight appearances.

The two Series that they lost, they immediately got revenge the next year. In 1955, they lost to the Brooklyn Dodgers for the first and only time. Then, they beat the Dodgers in 1956. In 1957, they lost to the Milwaukee Braves and then they beat the Braves in 1958.

As a side note, including 1949, they won five straight World Series (1949 - 1953), unprecedented before or since then. In addition, from 1949 through 1964, a period of 16 years, the Yankees won the pennant 14 times. The Yankees are also the only team to have won 5 straight pennants and also 4 straight pennants.
