After four games, the Yankees are 2-2 and have scored 27 runs. That's a pretty good start to the season. In 1955, the Yankees got off to a almost perfect start to the season.
The 1955 Yankees were coming off a 100-win season in 1954. They had 23-year-old Mickey Mantle, 29-year-old Yogi Berra and 26-year-old Whitey Ford. They were quite good. The opponent on Opening Day in 1955 was the Washington Senators. The 1955 Senators did have a 19-year-old Harmon Killebrew, but he wasn't around for Opening Day and didn't have a particularly great season that year.
