The 1925 Yankees season is often overlooked due to their poor performance, finishing seventh in the American League. Despite this, the season is noteworthy for Lou Gehrig beginning his Iron Man streak on June 1st, which adds a moment of significance amidst a string of World Series victories in other years. This reflection on the 1925 team coincides with a remembrance of a crazy game from a century ago, demonstrating how even the less celebrated seasons can hold valuable historical moments.
Generally speaking, we don't celebrate the 1925 Yankees, and understandably so. The team finished in seventh place in the American League with a 69-85-2 record.
Much like the game that the Yankees would win on the road in Cleveland 25 years ago, the 1925 club found themselves mired in a crazy game a century ago.
The 1925 squad limped through the season; in truth, the only moment worth celebrating from that team would be the beginning of Lou Gehrig's Iron Man streak.
Sad Sam Jones would get the ball for the Yankees, the pitcher best known for throwing the other Yankees no-hitter on September 4th.
