The New York Yankees
' 1990 season
was the 88th season for the Yankees. The team finished in seventh place in the American League East
with a record of 67-95, finishing 21 games behind the Boston Red Sox
. It was the Yankees' first last-place finish in 24 years, and the first in the two-division era. New York was managed by Stump Merrill
and Bucky Dent
. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium.
Multi-time former Yankees manager Billy Martin
was working as a special consultant to Yankees owner George Steinbrenner
when he was killed in a one-car crash in Binghamton, New York
, on Christmas Day in 1989. Martin had been drinking heavily with his friend, William Reedy, who was driving the pick-up at the time of the accident. When Martin was killed, the media reported that he was a passenger in his pickup truck
. However, Peter Golenbock
, in his book Wild, High, and Tight: The Life and Death of Billy Martin, makes the case that Martin was the driver and that his wife and Reedy covered up the truth. According to the HBO TV series Autopsy, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden
performed the autopsy on Martin and investigated the accident scene, including the pick-up truck in which Martin died. The autopsy revealed that Martin's impact injuries were all on the right side, and that hair and other DNA found on the right side of the shattered windshield belonged to Martin, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. The conclusion of the autopsy study was that Reedy drove the pick-up.
Billy Martin was eulogized by Cardinal John Joseph O'Connor at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York
, before his funeral at Gate of Heaven Cemetery
in Hawthorne, New York. His grave is located about 150 feet from the grave of Babe Ruth
