This season was marred by Babe Ruth's mysterious illness that kept him out a good portion of the season.[1] It was the club's lowest finish, in both percentage and place in the standings, since their 7th-place finish in 1913. It was also the first time they had finished below .500 since 1918. The Yankees would regroup and it would be 40 years before they would finish below .500 again.
