With their current win-loss record tied at 60 a side, the New York Yankees could end the season with a losing record, something the Bronx franchise has only experienced in the 1966, 1989 and 1992 seasons.
Los New York Yankees they have lost 7 of the last 10 games they have played, are last in the American League East and have a record of 60-60. Which puts them very close to reaching a negative record, something the Bronx team hasn’t seen since 1992.
And it is that the team from the Big Apple has not missed a playoffs since 2016. But at that time they left a mark of 84-78, so if we want to see the last season in which the Yankees finished with a negative record, we would have to go back to 1992.
At that time, the legendary Derek Jeter had not even debuted on the team, and the ninth was led by Buck Showalter, current strategist for the New York Mets. The Yankees went 76-86 that year, and have not had a losing major league season since.
The only seasons, besides 1992, in which the Yankees finished with a losing record for a season were in 1989 (74-87) and 1966 (70-89). So this season, which has only 40 games left, could be the fourth in franchise history in which they finish with an unfavorable record.
Drought in the Bronx
Los New York Yankees They are on their way to equaling their longest drought for World Series titles, which is currently 17 years, from 1978 to 1996. Currently they are going for 14 seasons without a ring, since the last one was achieved in 2009.
This is somewhat worrisome for a team as winning as the Yankees, which has a total of 27 World Series titles in its showcase and far exceeds the 11 titles of the St. Louis Cardinals. In addition, the Bombers are the only team that, except for two, has won at least one title in every decade since the league’s inception in 1903.
