The 1967 Yankees: An Underrated Team?
Comparing teams from different seasons is subjective because the statistics are based upon a comparison between and among teams in a specific league in a specific year. One can compare the 1967 Yankees to any 1967 American League team and reach objective conclusions but one cannot objectively compare the 1967 Yankees to the 1965 Red Sox because they played in different leagues against different opponents.

Yes, Virginia, the Yankees Once Were A Bad Team
It seems like ancient history but it wasn’t that long ago. The Yankees really did have some awful seasons for long stretches at a time. From 1965 until 1976 the Yankees won nothing and for many of those years they were really bad. The hard times arrived suddenly but in retrospect they should have been anticipated.
