Happy holiday. The Yankees did not win the 2017 World Series, but for a little while there, early last month, it was too close for comfort. Only two stellar Houston home wins in Games 6 and 7 of the American League Championship Series separated the Bombers from a chance at their 28th World Series title, and in honor of those great games — which were followed by even greater ones, in the Fall Classic itself — I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite Yankees losses since the strike, because they are probably my favorite sporting events of all-time.
