Listen Later

Not only were the Yankees losers in 1990, they had traded most of their cornerstone players, Donny Baseball was injured, lost a game where their pitcher didn't surrender a hit and their owner George Steinbrenner got suspended by MLB for trying to dig up dirt on straight arrow Dave Winfield.
