New York Yankees seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yankee Stadium has been home to the Yankees since 1923.

This is a list of seasons completed by the New York Yankees baseball club of Major League Baseball. The list documents the Yankees records from 1901 to the present, including postseason performance. The club was founded as a charter member of the American League in 1901 upon its arrival as a major league. The team began life as the Baltimore Orioles and moved to New York two seasons later. After being known as the "Highlanders" for ten seasons, the club officially changed its name to "Yankees" in 1913.

^ This series is known for Babe Ruth's Called Shot in game three at Wrigley Field.
^ The 1972 Major League Baseball strike forced the cancellation of the first seven games of the season/
^ The Yankees finished the season tied for first with the Boston Red Sox. They defeated the Red Sox in a one-game playoff to clinch the division. The game was famous for Bucky Dent's three-run home run that gave the Yankees a lead late in the game.
^ The 1981 Major League Baseball strike caused the season to split into two halves. The Yankees were given a playoff berth in an expanded playoff tournament due to leading the division at the time the strike began. The Milwaukee Brewers finished the second half in first place to earn the division's other playoff berth.
^ ^a ^b The 1994 Major League Baseball strike ended the season on August 11, as well as cancelling the entire postseason. The Yankees held the best record in the American League at the time of the strike. The strike also caused the shortening of the 1995 season to 144 games.
^ The Yankees finished the season tied with the Boston Red Sox. Since both teams clinched playoff berth, a one-game playoff was unnecessary. The Yankees were awarded the division due to a better head-to-head record with the Red Sox.
