The Yankees are now 82-47, which means two things. One, they are a season high 35 games over .500. And two, they have clinched a winning record for the 26th consecutive season. That is the second longest such streak in history. The Yankees had a 39 consecutive winning seasons from 1926-64. Goodness. Anyway, to the bullet point recap:
