You must not remember the 1980s. The Yankees lost the World Series in 1981 and didn't make the playoffs again until 1995. In 1992, the Yankees had completed four straight losing seasons.

The context where the Yankees had lost 85-95 games a year for that 4 year stretch.

Maddux said it not a GM. Remember this was when George was running the show in NY. Don Mattingly played his entire career with the Yankees and didn't win a playoff series.(I think he only went to one against Seattle)
