Yankees suffer worst defeat in team history

[FightinNewDem]

Just making sure everyone knew...

NEW YORK (AP) — The hits and runs kept coming, spinning by on the scoreboard as fast as symbols on a slot machine.

It wasn’t just a rout, it was an epic defeat, the most one-sided in the 101-year history of the New York Yankees. Cleveland’s 22-0 victory Tuesday night matched the biggest post-1900 shutout margin in the major leagues, Pittsburgh’s win at the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 16, 1975

5. As a Yankee fan....

I say that it is just one loss out of 162 games....one loss isn baseball is no big deal....does not matter if you lose 2-1 or 22-2....it is still just one loss and the yankes are still in first place!
