At the time, it was a fitting argument. The New York Yankees, already riddled with injuries, had just been swept by the Houston Astros on the road. Coming home to face the lowly Chicago White Sox, the Yankees then lost two of three. The team stood 6-9 and looked lost at the plate. Who wouldn’t be mad and immediately point a finger at the manager?
I’m writing now to say I was wrong. Completely. Aaron Boone, despite early struggles, has led New York to another 100-win season, not to mention its first AL Eastern Division crown since 2012.
