The Yankees are off to a terrific start to the 2026 MLB season, entering May with a comfortable lead atop the AL East. For fans in New York, there was an expectation of success coming into the season, but there’s one glaring stat that should have the entire fan base excited about what’s to come.
Through 35 games, the Yankees have a pristine record of 24–11 while outscoring their opponents by a margin of 76 runs. That’s a feat that’s been accomplished six times in franchise history, most recently in 2003, but also in 1951, '39, ’36, ’32, and ’26, according to New York Yankees Stats on X.
