[edit] History, Comments, Contributions

The 2005 New York Yankees got off to its worst start since the days of the late 80's, and it seemed like the Bronx Bombers would miss the post-season for the first time since the strike-shortened '94 season (a year the Yanks were contening for the title, had the season not been so interrupted by the 1994 player's strike).

NL Division Series (3-0) Cardinals (NLC) over Padres (NLW) NL Division Series (3-1) Astros (WC) over Braves (NLE)

NL Championship Series (4-2) Astros over Cardinals

World Series (4-0) White Sox over Astros

AL Championship Series (4-1) White Sox over Angels

AL Division Series (3-2) Angels (ALW) over Yankees (ALE) AL Division Series (3-0) White Sox (ALC) over Red Sox (WC)

Despite the failure to advance past the Division Series against the L. A. Angels of Anaheim, the Yankees were able to overcome their slow start to win an eighth consecutive division title. Big left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson (the team's big-time winter acquisition) won 17 games in his debut season in pinstripes. 3B Alex Rodriguez won his second MVP award and 1B/DH Jason Giambi was named A. L. Comeback Player of the Year. In addition, the Yanks brought up two rookies who became big contributors on the team's post-season push: 2B Robinson Cano and RHP Chien-Ming Wang. A-Rod's post-season performance was the only down part of what would otherwise would be considered a great season, as the Yankee third baseman set a Yankees record for most homeruns by a right-handed hitter in franchise history with 48, breaking the previous mark of 37, set by Yankee great Joe DiMaggio.
