After their last game Manager, Aaron Boone, says ¨It’s an awful day, just an awful ending.¨ The owner of the Yankees team, Hal Steinbrenner, says ¨We didn’t get the job done … it’s time to get it done,” Steinbrenner said. “Any time we don’t win a championship, it’s a disappointing year. We had a lot of good ups, we had some downs, we had some injuries like everybody else.”

Plans moving forward

Yankees owner, Hal Steinbrenner, states ¨ As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for

all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager, I don’t see a change there.” They plan on keeping Boone as their manager and do not blame any losses on him. Player, Aaron Judge, says ¨I try to go out there and do my job and help this team win. I really didn’t think of it as my last game here.¨ The New York Yankees plan to keep practicing as a team and planning for their next season.
