Hint: What season is it getting to be?

(1) That's the years in which the Yankees didn't win the stanley cup*

(2) This isn't a math question.

*I know that the big thing that you win in baseball is not called the stanley cup, it's the heiseman trophey, or Bab Ruth's first bat, or some golden cigar, or something, but this seemed as good a way to signify what I meant without being bland as I could come up with.

Well, there's a difference between "didn't win" and "lost". Those are the years the Yankees lost in the World Series. Heh. 13 time losers!
