The 1978 Yankees fell 14 games behind the Red Sox:
The Yankees lost 9-7 to KC in 11 innings and committed 3 errors. Only 4 of the 9 KC runs were earned.
Yankees 47-42 (87 games); five games later (all wins) the manager was replaced.
Managers: Billy Martin (52-42) , Dick Howser (0-1) and Bob Lemon (48-20)
The Yankees came back and tied the Red Sox by sweeping all four games in Boston:
15-3
13-2
7-0
7-4
The Boston massacre.
Sunday, September 10, 1978 - Both teams 86-56.
The teams finished tied and the Yankees won a single extra game to take the division.
The 1978 Yankees won the World Series against the Dodgers.
The 2025 Yankees may be experiencing a reverse Boston massacre. Red Sox have won the first three of four ... in the Bronx!
6-3
1-0
12-1
If the Yankees fire manager Aaron Boone, he would probably be replaced by one of the coaches, some of whom have no MLB experience as players.
