New Yankees docuseries highlights season of team’s dark underside

“This is not that New York Yankees story,” a narrator says in the trailer. “This is the story they don’t want you to hear.”

“I’m still trying to forget that team,” adds former skipper Buck Showalter, a solemn look on his face. Why would anyone ever want to forget anything about baseball’s most legendary, storied team, the New York Yankees?

A new, wonderfully captivating docuseries from filmmaker D.J. Caruso offers the full story. Based off of a series of columns by the Post’s Joel Sherman in 2020, Bronx Zoo ’90: Crime, Chaos, Baseball pulls back the curtain on a season that seems truly too awful and bizarre to be real.
