The Yankees had a pretty interesting season in 2016. It was filled with highs and lows, emotional farewells and greetings. There were deadline sales, retirements, and historic home run binges. The more time passes from it, however, the easier it becomes to analyze. The Yankees learned a lot about themselves as an organization, and we learned a lot about ourselves as Yankees fans, too. That said, perhaps the biggest takeaway from the 2016 season is the lesson of patience, on both a macro and a micro level.
Looking at the big picture can be difficult for the Yankees fan.
