Yankees 2025 Season

[Knight]

The Yanks have won 1 WS (2009) since beating the Mets in 2000. 16 years since a win.

See my post as the answer is there, but I will repeat it, the Yankees did not win a World Series from 1978 - 1996 almost two decades. George was the owner.

Some Yankee fans lament the lack of George but forget the dark times under him. That is my point.

I always said that I'm glad George was a betting man and got suspended or we never see the mini dynasty.

George did not get suspended for betting.

Leave it up to Boone/analytics to screw up the momentum. Resting Dominguez, who seems to have found himself batting leadoff. Goldschmidt shouldn’t be batting leadoff and a redhot Bellinger should be protecting Judge.

Congrats to Judge for reaching 350 HR’s faster than anyone in MLB history.

making illegal donations, thought it was betting.

Idiot Boone at it again. Where was Dominguez today?

Need your ace to show up and deliver. Fried was not that today, although he had a blister issue.

Yanks are the most inept infield at turning DPs. Nothing is ever clean in the infield. DFA Peraza cannot do it day in and day out. Chisholm still looks weak to me in the infield.

Stanton sucks.

Guess Judge is back at it.

George Steinbrenner was suspended from baseball twice.The first suspension, in 1974, was for making illegal contributions to President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign. The second, in 1990, was for hiring a gambler to dig up damaging information on Yankees outfielder Dave Winfield.

Details:

• 1974 Suspension:
  Steinbrenner was suspended for two years after pleading guilty to making illegal contributions to Nixon's 1972 presidential campaign. This suspension was later reduced to 15 months.
  
  
• 1990 Suspension:
  Steinbrenner was banned from baseball after it was revealed he paid a gambler, Howard Spira, to gather information on Dave Winfield, with the intention of discrediting him.
  
  
• Reinstatement:
  Both suspensions were eventually lifted, and Steinbrenner was reinstated to his position with the Yankees.

And he was pardoned for the illegal campaign contributions.
