Monday night’s loss to the Red Sox in a crucial Game Three of the ALDS left Yankees fans seething in anger. It was a similar feeling to the one that occurred almost exactly a year ago, when the Yankees blew a big lead to put themselves on the brink of elimination. The common ground in both of those losses was a questionable decision by the manager which brought out the pitchforks.
Many fans are clamoring for Aaron Boone’s job. Whether that’s severe or not, it makes sense to turn our boiling blood down to a simmer and look back at the worst decisions by Yankee managers in playoff history.
