1913 Season Recap: Even despite all the injuries, and the big trade, the Yankees managed to win 90+ games for the 6th straight season. But this time it wasn't enough, and for the first time since 1908 the team did not win the AL pennant.

1913 New York Yankees Transactions: I won't repeat the trade info I posted in the last thread. There was 1 other transaction of note however...
May 6, 1913: Signed free agent P Eddie Plank to a 1 year contract @ $1,300
When Doc White went down, I had to find a capable replacement. I didn't really have any decent starting prospects in the minors. Plank had a great year for me, going 18-10 with a 2.57 ERA. I couldn't have asked for anything more, and because of that performance I'm going to try to extend his contract.
Season Recap: Well, you pretty much know the story of the season. The injuries started early and kept coming all year. The Yankees managed to stay in the race anyway, but by mid-September it was clear they would not be in the playoffs.
