Yankees Dynasty: Remembering An Almost Forgotten Team
When recalling the Yankee dynasty of the 1990’s, there is often one team that is all but forgotten. There is a valid reason for this, and it’s a sore spot in many baseball fans memory banks. The player’s strike of 1994 is a bitter pill for most. In fact, it most likely robbed the Yankees of a championship.
On Friday, August 12, 1994, the Yankees were 70-43. That was good enough to be six and a half games up on the second-place Orioles. They had the second-best record in the major leagues behind the Montreal Expos. Most were projecting the Yankees as favorites to win the World Series.
