I know it's weird talking about times in the History of a team when the team wasn't good. But I thought with all the great eras and teams the Yankees have had, that have been talked about so much. It would be intersting to talk about the times when the team hasn't been that great, it's still part of Yankee History and some of us grewup with those teams. Also which era do you think was worst, The CBS owned era or the 1980's-early 90's era.
The "CBS ERA" started in 65" and lasted until George steinbrenner bought the team, It's a time when the Yank went from the dominate team in baseball since the time of Ruth to being some years one of the worst. Both the Stadium and The Bronx fell on hard times and the attendance and the Yankees standings fell.
The 80's-early 90's era was a time of over spending for free agents without winning, theres where a few good teams but no playoffs to show for it. Adding to this steinbrenner many embrassing statements and moves. This is also the era I grew up watching, which made the championship in 96" that that much better.
I know we dont usally talk about the lean times, but us who lived and followed the Yankees during these times, good or bad we have memories of those times.
Also out of thses two eras which is worst, falling from top of the baseball hill or spending way too much money for nothing. Which was the worst of the Yankee Dark Ages?
