Yeah. I can't think of any recent example of the Yankees choking.

Usually starts the beginning of August. Did you know grabbing your own throat means "Red Sox" in American sign language?

Being up three games in a seven-games play-off series and then losing four straight is the record for choking. If you want to discuss choking, discuss the all time record holder, the 2004 Yankees

The Great Yankees choke of 2004 (up 3-0 in the ACLS only to lose to the Red Sox in four straight) trumped all the Red Sox chokes of the past 86 years.

The Yankees are not going to live that one down for a long, long time.

Your graphic should have been applied to the 2004 NY Yankees.

The greatest choke job in sport's history, being up 3 games and losing 4 straight.
