Baseball fans are in a tough stretch right now: It’s winter and there’s an MLB lockout. Football was a nice distraction for some, but that’s over. Hockey and basketball playoffs don’t start for awhile. Even soccer matches that would interest a casual fan are months away. Maybe it’s best if we relive some great all-time seasons from Yankees players and ride the nostalgia and fond memories toward a more optimistic sports outlook.
That sounds like a good idea, but I’ve done that a lot lately. As a counter suggestion, what if we embrace the doldrums and look at the absolute worst individual seasons by Yankees at each position?
