The Yankees truly did not get beat down too often in 1998. The game we’re going to talk about today was their second-worst loss of the season by final margin. However, oh boy did they get beat down in this one. Thanks to big games from one of the franchise’s tormentors in chief and another from a future Yankee, on this day in 1998, the Yankees got crushed by the Mariners.

On the mound that day for the Yankees was Hideki Irabu, but things very quickly got away from him.
