The Yankees are one of the best teams in MLB. They receive so much public attention and they deliver. Over the past seven years, they have won an incredible 63% of their home games. Though, the Yankees had their worst season in 2005 getting only 97 wins. After starting the 2005 season poorly, they finished in style by winning the AL East. They have remarkable 51-21 home records against inter league teams.

They will kick start the new season with Joe Torre who has been managing the team. He led the Yankees to World Series titles in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000. In 1996, Torre was selected American League Manager of the year. He has also managed parts of 15 seasons with Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets. Joe has a .297 career batting average in parts of 18 successful seasons. They are a notable team not for their impressive history but also for their flourishing financial situation. In 2005, the payroll of the team was more than $208 million.

Main players, Wright and Pavano struggled, so did Johnson. But as the season progressed, the Yankees got better and better as slugger Jason Giambi started to hit with power and timing again. Though they were defeated by the Angels in the 2005 Division Series but went on to win the final game by a score of 5-3. This season, Brian Cashman took control as the manager of the team
