There have been worse seasons in Yankees’ history. By win loss record, it’s not even the worst Yankees’ season in the past decade. However, the 2013 Yankees’ season was just the absolute pits.
It’s not just that they were mediocre. They were. It’s that they were mediocre and almost everyone remotely fun got injured at some point. The list of notables to miss large chunks of the season includes Derek Jeter, Alex Rodríguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, and Francisco Cervelli. Chris Stewart played 109 games. Jayson Nix played 87. Lyle Overbay played 142!
Despite that, they actually finished with a winning record.
