The New York Yankees have fallen short of the ultimate goal once again. The “streak” will now be extended to 12 years for the most iconic team in sports failing to even reach the World Series. The season was filled with highs and many, many lows, but it’s time to unbuckle your seatbelt and get off the ride because the rollercoaster year has now come to an abrupt stop.
Over the last five years, the Yankees have finished first in the American League East just once, and have continuously watched as the Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox, and Houston Astros ran laps around them.
