The wild numbers behind the New York Yankees' historic start

It's that kind of season again for the New York Yankees.

The Bronx Bombers are absolutely dominating the opposition this season, as they've reached 50 wins in 67 games for a winning percentage of .746. It puts them in a class of their own in MLB this season -- the next closest squad, the New York Mets, are 11.5 games behind. The Yankees have a commanding lead in the AL East and they're pretty obviously the team to beat in the postseason.

What makes this season special is just how good the Yankees have been in a historical context.
