The New York Yankees went 95-67 in 2010, a .586 winning percentage — the third best record in baseball. They scored 859 runs and allowed 693, a run differential of +166. The offence ranked the best in MLB for runs scored, while their 4.12 staff ERA was 20th of 30. Their 113 team wRC+ was 13% above league average — the second best in MLB. Robinson Canó led the position players at 6.1 WAR, and CC Sabathia the rotation at a 3.18 ERA.
The 2010 season

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 185 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
New York Yankees are 95-67, a .586 win rate, while their +166 run differential implies .597. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
