The 1990 New York Yankees season was the 88th season for the Yankees. The team finished in seventh place in the American League East with a record of 67–95, finishing 21 games behind the Boston Red Sox. It was the Yankees' first last-place finish in 24 years (and their first last-place in the division era), their most losses in a season since 1912 (a record which still stands), and their most recent last-place finish to date. New York was managed by Stump Merrill and Bucky Dent. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees left SportsChannel NY at the end of the 1989 season, moving their cable and satellite broadcasts to the cable-only MSG Network.
The team was profiled in depth in a docuseries on Peacock called the 'Bronx Zoo' in 2024.[1]
