ALDS Recap: Yankees, Boone, left shell socked
It was a step back and another step in the learning process for the New York Yankees. Falling to the Boston Red Sox, a 108-win team in the regular season with the highest payroll in baseball, the Yankees are certainly going to need to retool their club in the off-season. Manager Aaron Boone will be hoping he won’t join the likes of Yogi Berra and Dick Howser, as rookie Yankee managers who made the playoffs but weren’t asked back the next season. This series may also have spelled the end of a couple of great Yankee careers for CC Sabathia and Brett Gardner. Nearly a decade since their last title, the Yankees have some work to do in the chase for World Series championship No. 28.
