The Yankees did more than just beat the Nationals on Wednesday. With the win, they locked in their 34th consecutive season with a winning record at Yankee Stadium.
It’s a number that puts them in rare air. According to Elias Sports, the streak is the second-longest in Major League history—trailing only their own run of 47 straight seasons with a winning home record from 1918 to 1964.
That first streak spanned the rise of Babe Ruth, the DiMaggio years, and the Mantle era. It defined a franchise that treated the Bronx as the center of the baseball world. This new streak is different, stretched across lean years and powerhouse rosters, from Don Mattingly’s prime to Derek Jeter’s dynasty to Aaron Judge’s current reign. Through it all, the constant has been that opponents rarely left the Bronx with more wins than losses.
The current team is part of that fabric. They’ve been uneven at times this year, hit by injuries and defensive lapses, but at Yankee Stadium they’ve been steady. The ballpark continues to be more than a backdrop—it’s an advantage, one that keeps showing up in the standings.
What this streak really says is that generations of Yankees fans have had one guarantee: most nights at home, their team delivers. It’s a measure of consistency that no other franchise has matched twice, and a reminder that even in years when October ends early, the Bronx has always been tough on visitors.
Thirty-four straight winning seasons at home isn’t just a statistic. It’s tradition. And for the Yankees, it’s one more piece of history to add to the wall.
