@@seymourbrown7647Big time, I remember the hype back in 2001 with Ichiro leading the way. To think their near loss against the Indians in the ALDS was one of the first signs that things won't go so well for them. With that said, even with their current W-L record their offense I find to be untrustworthy. They need to be more consistent as their pitching can't keep bailing them out, especially come playoffs when they meet the Astros again. Can't hope that Pressly would become Ken Giles in the postseason.
This was the best team of my lifetime at least born in 1980. They were unstoppable. The best 125 wins or something like that. Just a pure well gelled monster team on all fronts.
This entire video helps to prove my true reason for loving the '98 Yankees. The '98 Yankees proved that the '96 Yankees weren't a fluke. There were doubters automatically popping up the moment Cleveland won the A.L. Pennant in '97. Man, did that franchise bounce back BIG TIME! And one of your starters throws a Perfect Game during the regular season? Here's to the unduplicated run of MLB's greatest WS team!❤
Yup no a doubt about them after the year and if there was any doubt left 99 and 2000 proved this is the greatest team in mlb history IMO from top to Bottom of lineup from starters to bullpen they were awesome
As a young German, I lived and worked in NYC 1997 and 1998. A colleague of mine from Queens sometimes took me to the old Yankee stadium where I could watch an also young Derek Jeter and this eternal team. I have been a fan ever since and I am, of course, routing for Judge and this great rotation around Cole this season. But I have to say, this 98 team and season were special on so many levels and can proably not be repeated.. Thanks for this video.
@@Surfer041 Yup. I grew up with the 1976-78 group and saw the 1996-2000 dynasty. This current Yankee team with its mismanagement and commitment to mediocrity...is an embarrassment beyond words.
The scary part about this team was that they took their foot off the pedal in September. I think they went 12-14 in September and still ended up with 114 wins, unreal.
@Lighthouse in the Storm what other team in any other sport has 27 championships? I mean that’s just one of the many accomplishments that makes the greatest
I remember 98 i was booked on a one day gig as second AC for an MLB doc. I was I was there for a game where David Cohen pitched a complete game and Shane Spencer hit a home run and our cameraman decided to walk on the field after the game security came down on us like swat. I wonder if this is that documentary ?
The greatest FUCKING season of my lifetime being 18 years old my team winning every day just about perfect game incredible brawl vs balt this team was the greatest baseball team ever every player was very good
Long Live MLB, NASCAR NBA, NFL, PGA Tour, Etc Long Live Sports Long Live MLB MLB World Series Film VHS Long Live NY Yankees & Mets (Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Keith Hernandez, Tino Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra, etc)
114 wins in very unlikely. It was the greatest regular season in the past 50 years that would finish the job. That yankee team had a lot of home grown players and misfits. It was almost a perfect season. It would also be the final season of Joe DiMaggio to attend a yankees game in person. Also Yogi Berra wouldn’t return until 1999. George Steinbrenner was the boss. David Wells also pitched a perfect game and won the ALCS MVP. Scott Brosius would have a career year in pinstripes and win the World Series MVP.
Lmao the astros now wouldn't stand a chance against the dynasty team. They would get swept 10 series over and over and over. Where were the astros until 2016? They will never get to 26 world series. Astros are irrelevant compared to the 98 99 00 Yankees
It's obvious you know nothing about baseball and the history. Not every team dominates 2 centuries of a sport. The astros can have their little time now. But will never be compared to the lure and the history NYY has. Best team EVER. ASTROS are a bunch of cheating degenerates that will never taste the same success. Has any of their pitchers pitched a perfect game? 😂😂 any of their hitters past 125 rbi ? Any of their hitters pass 60 homeruns in a single season? No so shut up and take a seat Arab
