Nineteen Ninety - Again

The Yankees are now 3 games under .500, as we close the books on the month of June (2007). When was the last time the Yankees were 3+ games under .500 after their game on June 30th?

That would be 1995. However, 1995 was a season that started late and the Yankees were 26-31 on the morning of July 1st that year.

So, when was the last full season where the Yankees were 3+ games under .500 after their game on June 30th?

That would be 1991. At that time, the Yankees were 33-38 and 7.5 games back of first place.

O.K, how about this one? When was the last full season where the Yankees were 3+ games under .500 after their game on June 30th and they were 10+ games out of first place?

That would be 1990 - when they were 28-44 at C.O.B June 30th and 14 games out of first.

1990 - again. Some season, so far, this year - huh?
