The New York Yankees finished the 2010s with more regular-season wins than any other team in Major League Baseball. Unfortunately, all of those victories failed to translate into a World Series title. The Yankees of the 2010s were very good and undeniably consistent. They simply failed to take that final step and earn a parade through Manhattan’s Canyon of Heroes.
Interestingly, this same scenario has played itself out before. In the 1980s, the Bronx Bombers won 854 regular-season games, the most by any team during the decade. The Yanks would post a winning record eight times during the ’80s, but they never won a championship.
