Making it to the playoffs is a challenge, in simple terms. The New York Yankees have done so countless times, coming out on top 27 times. The winningest franchise in sports has started the 2018 season off with high hopes and an incredible start.
A lot of the success has to do with an offense that just won’t quit, consistently coming through no matter the deficit they face in the later innings. They continuously fight for their victories while launching timely home runs in the process.
But the success of the Yankees doesn’t just come from the bats of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez.
