While down 0–3 to the Astros in the ALCS, the Yankees employed a rather unique strategy to galvanize its players and convince them that they were capable of coming back from the deficit. But not everyone was a fan of the strategy.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Chad Bohling, the team’s mental skills coach, sent around highlight videos of the 2004 Red Sox to the team on Sunday. That team that famously beat the Yankees in the ALCS, becoming the only team in MLB postseason history to overcome a 0–3 series deficit.
