Gene Michael built the 1990s Yankees dynasty

Every Friday I’ve been releasing ‘A Brief History’ podcast about the Yankees. It started as a way to stay sane during quarantine, but evolved into something that I look forward to researching each week.

The most recent episode was about how — starting with his early tenure with the Yanks in the 1980s all the way to the key moves he made in the early 1990s that set the building-blocks for a dynasty. One key player Michael fought for multiple times was Bernie Williams.

No clear path

Williams was signed by the Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1985.
