This has been a disappointing season for the New York Yankees however it’s going to be a winning season. Saturday evening’s win over the Kansas City Royals (NYY 5, KCR 2) advanced the Yankees to 82-79, extending their winning season streak to 31 seasons. They’ve had a winning record yearly since going 76-86 in 1992.
Is 31 consecutive winning seasons a record? Well, no, however it’s the second-longest such streak in baseball historical past and third-longest within the 4 primary North American professional sports activities leagues. Here are the longest winning season streaks within the 4 primary sports activities:
- 39 seasons: 1926-64 New York Yankees
- 32 seasons: 1952-83 Montreal Canadiens
- 31 seasons: 1993-2023 New York Yankees (energetic)
“I acknowledge the streak as impressive, especially when you frame it (as the second longest in baseball history) and all that,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone told NJ.com last week. “It is remarkable, but we go into certainly every season since I’ve been here with loftier goals than that.”
Despite clinching a winning record, the Yankees are in fourth position within the AL East and they’ve ignored the postseason for the primary time since 2016. GM Brian Cashman known as it a “disaster” season, despite the fact that it does no longer sound like all entrance workplace adjustments are within the playing cards. Chairman Hal Steinbrenner has indicated he’ll herald an outdoor company to evaluate the group.
The Yankees will shut out their season with one remaining recreation towards the Kansas City Royals Sunday. On the intense aspect, ace Gerrit Cole most likely locked up the Cy Young with a two-hit shutout towards the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. He leads the league in ERA (2.63), innings (209), and WAR (7.5).
