Visit Visit our website “Winning with the Yankees” (1956) is a color, promotional film produced by Dean Moore Sr. of Condor Films, Inc. and presented by sponsor Coca Cola. Narrated by Mel Allen, the film takes a look at the Yankees Organization and how it became synonymous with “baseball’s most outstanding organization.” The film takes the viewer on a journey that offers insights into all aspects of the organization from the little league players that grow into adult players to the managers and box office operators.
