"It's great what he's (Bernie Williams) accomplished, but I think it's tough to compare with the eighteen home runs (Mickey) Mickey hit in the World Series. His (Williams) counts all of the postseason and he got more opportunities. Not that Bernie's numbers aren't terrific, but I think there should be separate categories." - New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre in the Daily News (Peter Botte, 10/22/2003)

The 1989 New York Yankees & 2003 New York Yankees each had forty-nine different players which is the team record for most in a single season. By contrast, the 1923 New York Yankees and 1927 New York Yankees each had twenty-five different players which is the team record for fewest in a single season.

Did you know that the 1998 New York Yankees won one-hundred fourteen games, the most Yankees wins in a season; the 1938 New York Yankees won twenty-eight games in August, the most Yankees wins in any given month during a season; and the 1947 New York Yankees won nineteen consecutive games, the most consecutive Yankees wins during any single season.

The 1941 New York Yankees were an amazing lot. During the regular season they had a team record twenty-five consecutive games with at least one home run hit during each contest.
