The Yankees won their 82nd game of the season on Saturday to extend a remarkable streak.
The Bronx Bombers earned their 82nd win of the year, officially securing a winning season - their 32nd consecutive season with a winning record. The last time the Yankees had a losing record was back in 1992, when they went 76-86; since then, the closest New York's streak came to ending was last season, when they won exactly 82 games and secured their winning record in Game 161.
Of course, the Yankees' active streak of winning seasons is by far the longest in the four major professional sports. In the NFL, NBA, and NHL, the Kansas City Chiefs , Los Angeles Clippers , and Pittsburgh Penguins have the longest active streaks of winning seasons in their respective leagues; the Yankees' streak is the only one that has reached 20 seasons. As for MLB, the second-longest active streak is held by the Los Angeles Dodgers, with 14 straight winning seasons .
Although New York is currently in the middle of a 14-year championship drought, they have capitalized on this long streak by making the playoffs in all but seven years , winning the American League pennant seven times , and winning the World Series five times . The Yankees have much greater goals set for the 2024 season, but finishing with a winning record is certainly a step towards the ultimate goal of winning the franchise's 28th World Series title.Joe Najarian is a Rutgers University graduate from the Class of 2022.
