[CM-BlueButterfly]

In short, the 1990 New York Yankees were a study in mayhem, a dumpster fire masquerading as a professional baseball team. Fans will be able to relive that mayhem in Peacock’s upcoming three-part docuseries Bronx Zoo ‘90: Crime, Chaos and Baseball, premiering on the platform on May 16.

The documentary, produced by Believe Entertainment Group, New York Post Entertainment, and Whitecap Entertainment, and directed by DJ Caruso, is based on a New York Post series from 2020. 

“Bronx Zoo ’90: Crime, Chaos and Baseball is the astonishing true story of the 1990 New York Yankees, chronicling the team at a crossroads in their storied history. The season went on record as one of the worst and was made even more infamous by the drama that ensued off the field. Based on a series of articles from New York Post columnist Joel Sherman, the docuseries covers team owner George Steinbrenner’s removal from baseball for trying to buy information on Dave Winfield from a notorious gambler. Adding to the chaos, beloved team captain Don Mattingly was caught in a contentious contract dispute, a top free agent signee went missing, rookie Deion Sanders wavered between two sports and a controversial outfielder pursued a relationship with a local high school girl. Despite it all, the 1990 Yankees laid the groundwork for one of the greatest dynasties in sports history,” reads a description from Peacock.
