Not the Murderers Anymore

The 1965 New York Yankees season was the 63rd season for the Yankees in New York and their 65th overall. The team finished with a record of 77–85, finishing 25 games behind the Minnesota Twins. 

This season marked the beginning of a transition for the Yankees before a resurgence in the mid 1970s. This was the first season since 1925 that they failed to finish either above the .500 mark or in the first division. They would finish last in 1966, their first time doing so since 1912.

 

Thing was, you remember hearing all about the great Yankees as a kid but they were terrible now and you just don't care about baseball in New York.

Besides, there was a bigger hero for you that you didn't tell anyone about. John Wayne was your idol. Maybe it was because your father didn't like westerns or the good guy in movies. So you enjoyed pissing of your dad.
