Okay, so let me tell you about this “#93 yankees” thing I was messing around with today. It was kinda cool, actually.
First off, I was just browsing around, right? And I stumbled upon some old baseball stats. I always liked the ’98 Yankees, but for some reason, the ’93 team popped into my head. Maybe it was just a random number. I thought, “Hey, let’s see what those guys were up to.”
So, I fired up my laptop and started digging. I went to some baseball reference sites, you know, the usual suspects. I started by looking up the team roster. I wanted to see who was playing back then. Names like Don Mattingly, Paul O’Neill, and Bernie Williams jumped out. Classic Yankees!
Next, I wanted to get a feel for how they did as a team. I checked their overall record – wins, losses, that kind of stuff. They weren’t amazing, to be honest. Definitely not a championship year. But it’s still fun to see the numbers.
After that, I decided to focus on individual players. I looked at their batting averages, home runs, RBIs, all that jazz. It’s always interesting to see who the standout performers were, even on a team that wasn’t winning it all. I remember being surprised by how many stolen bases some of those guys had. You don’t always think of the Yankees as a running team, but they had some speed back then.
I also poked around to see if there were any notable stories or highlights from that season. Sometimes you find some crazy stuff from way back when, like a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth or some kind of brawl on the field. Didn’t find anything too wild, but it was still fun to read some old game recaps.
Then, just for kicks, I decided to compare the ’93 Yankees to the current team. Obviously, baseball has changed a lot over the years, so it’s not a perfect comparison. But it’s still interesting to see how the game has evolved. Like, the power numbers are way up now, but maybe they didn’t steal as many bases.
Finally, I spent a little time just geeking out on baseball trivia. I looked up some obscure stats and facts about the ’93 Yankees. Like, who had the most strikeouts? Who had the most errors? Stuff like that. It’s the kind of stuff that only a true baseball nerd would care about, but I find it kinda fun.
Overall, it was a cool little deep dive into baseball history. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Plus, it’s always good to appreciate the history of the game.
