Though reaching the postseason is less difficult than it was prior to the three-division league and the addition of the Wildcard, it remains an accomplishment that not all teams get to enjoy regularly. The Yankees have had more playoff appearances in that 13-season span than 21 other teams have had during their entire existence. Arizona: 4 Baltimore: 10 Chicago White Sox: 8 Cincinnati: 12 Cleveland: 10 Colorado: 2 Detroit: 12 Florida: 2 Houston: 9 Kansas City: 7 L.A. Angels: 7 Milwaukee: 3 Minnesota: 12 N.Y. Mets: 7 Philadelphia: 11 San Diego: 5 Seattle: 4 Tampa Bay: 1 Texas: 3 Toronto: 5 Washington: 1 The Braves, Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, A's, Pirates, Giants and Cardinals have all reached the postseason 13 or more times. The Yankees have reached the postseason 47 separate times. |
The Yankees' streak of 13 consecutive playoff appearances began with Buck Showalter in 1995 and ended with Joe Girardi in his first season as manager after replacing Joe Torre.
