when did the yankees lose the world series
New York Yankees In 2003, the Yankees again had the best league record (101â€“61), highlighted by Roger Clemens' 300th win and 4000th strikeout. In the ALCS, they defeated the Boston Red Sox in a dramatic seven game series, which featured a bench-clearing incident in Game 3 and a series-ending walk-off home run by Aaron Boone in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7. In the World Series the Yankees lost in 6 games to the Florida Marlins, losing a World Series at home for the first time since 1981.
Washington Generals Figures vary as to exactly how often the Generals have beaten their rivals. Some reports say six,[20] while the team's official website reports having three victories over the Globetrotters, one each in 1954, 1958, and 1971.[21] The 1971 win is the most storied of these, and is sometimes reported as the team's sole victory.[2]

Yankees–Red Sox rivalry For only third time in the history of the rivalry (the previous two occasions were 1930 and 1992), both teams had new managers to start the 2018 season. The Yankees hired Aaron Boone and the Red Sox hired Alex Cora, both former players of the team who hired them.[305][306][173] During an early-season game, a brawl erupted between both benches after Yankees first baseman Tyler Austin charged Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly for throwing at him twice in response to Austin's slide at second base earlier in the game.[307] It became a trending topic on Twitter and the MLB's Youtube channel video of the incident became one of the most viewed (currently at an estimated 1 million views), and social media commentators saw the brawl as a spark of a reignited rivalry between the two teams, which in turn released more long-standing hatred among their respective fan bases not just in their respective cities and states but also nationwide. By the end of the 2018 regular season, both teams qualified for the postseason and both reached the 100-win mark. It would be the first time in history that both teams had won at least 100 games in the same season and, along with the Houston Astros, the first time the American League had three 100 game winners.[308] Following the Yankees' victory over the Oakland A's in the AL Wild Card Game, the two faced each other in the 2018 ALDS. This was the fourth postseason meeting for the two teams, and their first meeting in the ALDS. The Red Sox won the series 3 games to 1, taking games 3 & 4 in Yankee Stadium by a combined score of 20-4, with all games broadcast on cable channel TBS in the United States, ending up as one of the highest rating MLB postseason series broadcasts yet in its long history. Just like in the earlier April 2018 brawl, it fueled once more the fan hatred between the two teams, becoming a Twitter trending topic. On October 24, 2018 in Boston, during game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, in the top of the ninth inning (as the Red Sox was about to win the game 4-2), the fans in attendance started chanting "Yankees Suck!" at Fenway Park, they did the chant the night before as the Red Sox were leading in the scorebooks. As the Red Sox won the 2018 World Series in Dodger Stadium, the "Yankees Suck" chants resounded again from the Red Sox fans attending the series winning game in Los Angeles on October 28 the same year, and the victorious Red Sox players sang Frank Sinatra's cover of "New York, New York" in celebration in the Dodger Stadium locker rooms (that song, the one played at Yankees home victories, was the one played in Yankee Stadium when the Red Sox won in the aformentioned 2004 ALCS and in the 2018 ALDS).
