Yankees end 17th straight season without World Series title

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 00:48 · Archive

The New York Yankees have failed to win a World Series for the 17th consecutive season after Tampa Bay swept them in the AL Division Series.

The New York Yankees lost to Tampa Bay in a three-game sweep of the AL Division Series on Wednesday night, marking their 17th consecutive season without a World Series title and their third straight year watching an opponent celebrate on their own infield in October.

Yankees captain Aaron Judge said after the defeat: 'There's a standard to winning a championship. It's black and white. There's no gray area. It's every day you show up to work, every little thing you do is, are you working towards a championship or you're not?'

The Yankees' performance declined significantly after May. Through 31 May, New York ranked fourth in the majors in runs, 13th in batting average and second in OPS. From 1 June through the end of the season, they fell to 24th in runs, 29th in batting average and 27th in OPS. Judge left the field in May with a fractured rib. He returned for seven games from 8–16 September but hit .174 with three RBIs before a calf strain ended his season. After batting .382 with 18 runs in a two-game Wild Card Series sweep of Boston, the Yankees hit .130 against Tampa Bay, heavily limited without their three-time AL MVP.
