It took Aaron Boone less than two full seasons to make history as a manager.
In addition to guiding the Yankees to their first AL East title since 2012 with a 9-1 win over the Angels on Thursday night, Boone also became the first manager to win 100 games in each of his first two major league seasons.
“Good players,’’ Boone said. “I’ve been blessed to have two really good teams so far. Obviously, we have had a lot of players this year, just based on the adversity, but over and over again, it goes back to the players and you have to go out and get it done.
