On Sunday, the New York Yankees played their final game of what was a roller coaster 2016 season. While the Yankees made it interesting, with a surprising second half surge, it was probably just as well that they’re missing the playoffs. They simply didn’t have the depth to go deep into the post season.
When the Yankees were finally mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they were in the midst of a three game series against their arch nemesis, the Boston Red Sox. The sheer knowledge of that fact reminded me that I’ve been keeping a deep, dark secret for thirty years.
