1996-2001 YANKEES

-

23 POINTS

Four titles (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000), one other pennant (2001)

No. 1, hands down, and a dynasty by any definition. And this era’s Yanks would keep that ranking if the window were five years (1996-2000) or four (1998-2001). The core of Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera helped New York achieve a level of sustained greatness unmatched over the last half-century. The 114-win team of 1998 might be the best individual team we’ve seen since the advent of divisional play.
