Saurday Quiz: NY baseball
 
Both NY teams will likely miss the playoffs this year. What are the last three seasons in which BOTH the Yankees and Mets failed to make the playoffs?

I don't know the answer but find it refreshing that despite having the two largest payrolls in MLB you still can't buy a pennant in Baseball.

Agreed, although the Yankees don't spend anymore like they used to!

Any guesses?

Late 80's early 90's?

1989-1993. The Mets made the playoffs in 1988 losing to the Dodgers. The Yankees made the playoffs in 1995 losing to the Mariners.

Good guesses, but all three happened more recently. To clarify, these are not necessarily three straight seasons.

I think the Yankees miss in 2013, 2014, and 2016.

The Mets always miss except their miracle run I think in 2015

So I would go with that ‘13, ‘14, and ‘16

2008, 2013,2014 &...2023!

You got it, Robbie.

I was thinking it went back to at least the 90s...!
