In What Decade Did the Yankees Fail to Win a World Series?

And the answer is ...

d) the 1980s

Ever since they began at the turn of the 20th century, the Yankees won a national championship title every decade except for the 1980s, largely thanks to their stars. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig starred in the 1930s, Joe DiMaggio led the team in the 1940s, Mickey Mantle ruled the 1960s and Joe Torre and Derek Jeter stood out in the 1990s. Although the Yankees had the most wins of any major league team in the 1980s, led by Don Mattingly, they failed to win when it counted: in the postseason.
