Line 17: ==Criticism== ''Yankees Classics'' has been criticized for showing recent games, including those from the current MLB season, when there are many games which ~~haven't~~have not been seen in decades. For example, although the memorable 1978 playoff game against Boston has frequently aired,<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.yankeenumbers.com/classicsview.asp?cls_ID=26 \|title = Yankee Classics - Monday, October 2, 1978 - YankeeNumbers.com}}</ref> YES has not shown any games from the [[1978 American League Championship Series\|1978 ALCS]]. Also there have thus far been no shows featuring any of the games from the [[1977 American League Championship Series\|1977 ALCS]], [[1981 American League Division Series\|1981 ALDS]] or [[1981 American League Championship Series\|1981 ALCS]]. Curiously, outside of [[Dave Righetti]]'s July 4, 1983, [[No hitter\|no hit game]], there have been no broadcasts of any Yankees games from the 1980s.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.yankeenumbers.com/classics.asp\|title=Yankee Classics\|access-date=2023-09-03}}</ref> It is not clear why this is but some have speculated that complete tapes of the games no longer exist or are technically unsuitable for broadcast. It has also been observed that while episodes of the biographical program ''[[Yankeeography]]'' make reference to losing efforts in the careers of its subjects, the Yankee Classics series has yet to air anything but games won by the team. This meant that the game in which Derek Jeter surpassed Lou Gehrig's record for most hits as a Yankee, would never be aired as the Yankees lost the game to the Baltimore Orioles. However, this game was later aired on Yankees Classics, only edited until the point where Jeter got the hit.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/12/sports/baseball/12yankees.html\|title = Jeter Passes Gehrig as Yankees Hits Leader\|newspaper = The New York Times\|date = 12 September 2009\|last1 = Kepner\|first1 = Tyler}}</ref>
