Even after being the most successful team in the history of Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees have not won a single World Series in the last 12 years. And if they do not get their core team back before the regular season starts, then this season will also not be any different.

There was a time when the New York Yankees dominated the World Series and the American League solely. But after the 2009 season, they lost their touchwood and have not won a single World Series since then. Hence, the Yankees fans will certainly hope their team win a trophy in the 2022 season.
