JudyThe 1927 Yankees were referred to as murderer's row because they had one of the best lineups in the history of baseball, containing four future HOF'ers in Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earle Combs, and Tony Lazzeri, as well as many other above average players in their prime (Meusel, Koenig, etc.).
Murderer's Row came from people saying that they'd "murder" opponent's pitching (score a lot of runs off of them).
