Five New York Yankees managers who flew under the radar

It isn’t easy being the manager of the New York Yankees.

Seriously. Thor probably has an easier time making sure Loki doesn’t destroy Asgard. While the Norse god of thunder and lightning is busy chasing his brother around, Aaron Boone is busy dealing with a rabid fan base and ownership with even higher standards.

That’s because being part of the Yankees means embracing a simple philosophy: losing is not an option. This is a team defined by excellence and anything less just won’t do. This isn’t to say every year is World Series or bust, but the leash is definitely short when it comes to failure.
