Truly ridiculous. The Yankee organization was a wreck when Steinbrenner bought it in 1973. From 1965 through 1973, the Yankees finished an average of 20 games out of first place.

Since 1974, they've won 13 division titles in 31 years and 6 World Series.

Re: Yankee Killers
 

a better question would be how many players and teams the Yankees have killed throughout their history.

Re: Yankee Killers
 

Nice.

Re: Yankee Killers
 

people love to hate, its like Europeans, they love to celebrate small political victories against the U.S., but really the U.S. pwns, much like the Yankees.

Edgar Martinez, Shea Hillenbrand

Re: Yankee Killers
 

I seem to remember Carlos Baerga killing the Yanks...

Re: Yankee Killers
 

I second the vote for Edgar Martinez. His 7 RBI's in game 3 of the '95 AL Division Series and game winning double in game 5 are just two of the reasons! One of the best series of all time!

Re: Yankee Killers
 

Goose Gossage would disagree. Brett owned him, hitting many big homers off him. BTW, Yankees won ALCS in 4 games in 1978, not 5.

Re: Yankee Killers
 

Orlando Cabrera, Jason Varitek, Keith Foulke, Derek Lowe (2004)
Curt Schilling (2004, 2001) [for Game 6 alone]
Josh Beckett (2003)
Half the Angel team (2002) [Garret Anderson, Scott Spiezio, Darin Erstad, Adam Kennedy, Shawn Wooten, Jarrod Washburn..]
Luis Gonzalez, Randy Johnson, Mark Grace, Danny Bautista (2001)

Babe Ruth... in case you think I am kidding check out his lifetime pitching stats against the yankees.. He has the 2nd highest winning % behind Kevin Brown against the yankees
