Block: 2017 Yankees Exhibited Parallels To 1995 Team
As the Houston Astros celebrated their Game 7 victory over the New York Yankees in last week’s ALCS, a subtle but significant parallel struck me.
I’ve seen this before. No, not losing in the playoffs.
Future Yankee stars, their prime years still ahead of them, soaking up valuable postseason experience, contributing, yet ultimately tasting bitter playoff defeat.

The date: Oct. 8, 1995.
The scene: Game 5 of the ALDS.
