At the onset of Aaron Boone’s tenure as Yankees manager were the demands of advancing in the post season. Joe Girardi served as New York manager from 2008-2017 and won the 2009 World Series. However, his last few years ended in playoff failure. Yankees management believed that those post season failures were proof that things were stale. Boone did no better than Girardi with the post season MLB game lines. While that is true Boone got a first-year pass. This year the Yankees have the look of a team that can go all the way.
