The 1998 Yankees ended the month of May on a bit of low note. They lost two straight games against the Boston Red Sox to split a four-game set, including a 13-7 shellacking on the 31st. Not only was this just the third time all season they had lost two straight games, they also dropped three of their last five. Were the first-place Yankees starting to slip?
Ha! No. There’s an argument to be made that the 1998 Yankees were the best team of all time, and how do historically great teams respond to adversity?
