Cardinals Extend Shockingly Persistent Losing Streak At Yankees Stadium

That's 21 Straight Losses at Yankee Stadium Since 2010

Statistically Improbable Misfortune

The St. Louis Cardinals' recent visit to Yankee Stadium was a continuation of a bizarre and statistically improbable losing streak that has reached 21 consecutive games.

This astonishing run of futility began on May 26, 2010, and includes both regular season and postseason games.

The Cardinals are one of the most successful teams in Major League Baseball history, but they have been unable to find a way to win at the Yankees' home field.

• The Cardinals have been outscored 145-61 during their losing streak.
• They have not won a game at Yankee Stadium since August 27, 2009.
• The Cardinals are the only team in the majors to have lost at least 20 consecutive games at a single opponent's home field.

Possible Causes

There are several possible explanations for the Cardinals' losing streak at Yankee Stadium:

• The Yankees are a very good team. They have won 27 World Series championships, the most of any team in Major League Baseball.
• Yankee Stadium is a difficult place to play. It is a large stadium with a lot of foul territory, which can make it difficult for hitters to hit home runs.
• The Cardinals may have a mental block when they play at Yankee Stadium. They may be subconsciously afraid of losing, which can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies.

Conclusion

The Cardinals' losing streak at Yankee Stadium is a fascinating and perplexing phenomenon.

It is a reminder that even the best teams can be vulnerable to inexplicable slumps.
