The Blunder Years

Someone Once Said There Once Was A Team So Strong That When A Player Hit A Single He Was Stopping The Rally. Such Was The Legacy Of The New York Yankees Through The Early 1960S. Love Em Or Hate Em Theirs Was A Legacy Of Winning Of Great Players Of Class And Dignity. Ruth Gehrig Dimaggio And Mantle Were Household Names And Their Participation In The Fall Classic Was Routinely Anticipated.That Would All Come To A Screeching Halt In 1965 When The Yankees Would Begin An Unforeseen And Precipitous Downslide. Finishing In Last Place In 1966 The Team Would Languish Under New Cbs Ownership Succumbing To The Specters Of Age Injuries Mismanagement And Neglect With No One To Replace Their Immortal Superstars. This Was The Horace Clark Era The Dark Ages Of The New York Yankees That I Call The Blunder Years.
