2009 Yankees

The Yankees have 100 wins with 6 games left. If they win, say, 4 of those games, they'd be tied for the 6th best record in the 106 years since they moved to the Bronx, and 2nd in the last 70.
Year     Record     Manager
1998     114-48     Joe Torre
1927     110-44     Miller Huggins
1961     109-53     Ralph Houk
1932     107-47     Joe McCarthy
1939     106-45     Joe McCarthy
1963     104-57     Ralph Houk
2009    104-58      Xmastime


Of course it prolly won't happen, as with everything sewn up already the theme for this week is "don't get anybody that matters hurt," not "win games."But, in the age of fans declaring armageddon every time we lose a game, I think it'd be nice to list such an impressive thing as an accomplishment.


And yes, I know those older teams played fewer games. Relax, anonymous douchebags.
