At long last, the slaughter is over. With Wednesday’s 6–5 win in the Bronx, the Yankees completed a season series against the Orioles that was the baseball equivalent of a bird getting stomped on by a pinstriped boot. In 19 games, New York went 17–2 against the cellar dwellers of the AL East, including 16 (!) straight wins to close out the year.
It was, by any measure, a laughably lopsided matchup. Baltimore didn’t just lose; it lost badly, getting massacred game in and game out by the Yankees. But just how grisly was it? If you can stomach it, check out these awe-inducing numbers from 19 of the most brutal games ever played.
