So what changed for the Bombers? What was the common denominator that ensured the Yankees would not win a title? We used to think it was A-Rod but clearly he’s earned his place among the title-bearers.
It was Mike Mussina. Moose played for the Yankees between 2001 and 2008. In that time the Yankees went to the playoffs seven times and even went to the Series twice but never won. Mussina did his part while a member of Bronx’ finest, winning a World Series game in ’03 against the Marlins. But clearly, there was something about him that was holding them back all these years.
Mussina retired last year and says he has no regrets about missing out on this season. Neither do the current Yankees, now.
