About this episode

Did the 1998 New York Yankees have the greatest single-season in MLB history? The full appreciation for their accomplishments looks even greater from this distance. Their offensive numbers will shock you. The success they had in one specific playoff series was stunning. And boy were they on the ropes and rescued by an unlikely source in the American League Championship Series. Did you know they could’ve been even better had they been able to sign a player they drafted who went on to stardom elsewhere? That despite their home-grown stars it was two minor trades that brought them regular season and playoff heroes? There was perfection, brawling, and controversy all wrapped up in a World Series punctuated by a power show. The 1998 New York Yankees. Possibly the best of the best.
