The franchise of Ruth and Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle, Jeter and Rivera is a pinstriped mess.
These are the Damned Yankees.Much of the baseball world is gloating about the misfortune of America’s most famous sports team, the one that always receives out-of-proportion media coverage and excessive slots in the national television lineup, the one that has hoarded 27 World Series titles - more than twice as many as any other team.
Only the Ruthian-inspired Yankees, who ripped off 39 consecutive winning seasons from 1926-64, and the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens, with a string of 32 in a row from 1952-83, have longer streaks than this New York team., where the gap between the Yankees and baseball’s best team couldn’t have been more glaring.-leading Braves, cruising along at 78-42, swept all three games by a cumulative score of 18-3.
“I’ve gotta give love to the Braves,” acclaimed director Spike Lee, a Yankees fan who was at Truist Park for the beatdown, told Bally Sports South in an interview from his seat. “They’re the best team in baseball. They’re kicking our butts.” Then there’s Anthony Rizzo, who’s out with concussion-related symptoms that won’t seem to go away, and 37-year-old Josh Donaldson, who’s been hurt most of the season and barely played at all.
