The Yankees are my team. I adopted them as a child in the 1950s when I grew up in New York and inspite of their success and unpopularity they remain my team. I have seen the dynasty of the 1950s and early 60s. Their fall in 1965 and resurrection in 1976. After 1981 they suffered a drought until 1996 and Joe Torre constructed his best team in 1998. While Sosa and McGwire were annihilating Maris' home run record the Yankees quietly amassed one of the best winning records in the history of the game and the San Diego Padres made it to the World Series. The Yankees had it all pitching, hitting, defense and power. The Padres were no match for this ream and got swept. It is arguable whether this was the greatest Yankee team I ever witnessed. The 1961 Yankees behind the home run power of Mantle and Maris and the piych of Ford an Arroyo were certainly up there even if the won-loss record was not quite a match. I would say one of these two Yankee teams was the best ever. I know some will say the 1927 Yanks were.

This 1998 series is not a very exciting series as the Yankees ran away with it. But it is a treat to look at it just to remember how great they were.

the 98 Yanks were truly special.they were unstoppable all the way through the World Series.all the Guys Came together&Joe Torre keeps all things going.this is one of the Greatest Teams ever&it's a cool overview to a Great Season.

Only 2 months later, I forgot some of the great moments as the Yankees completed an almost perfect season. This video brought it all back and reminded me what a great feat the Yankees accomplished as a team.

Yes, the Yankees swept the Padres in the World Series, but this video shows how close the Padres came to winning two of the games. From home run to home run, this Video brings back chills as we relive the end of the best season in baseball history.

This team did everything in 1998,

from Shane Spencer hitting 3 grand slams in september
to Scott Brosius 3 run HR off of Trevor "Hells Bells" Hoffman

What a team man!

The title for the tape says it all, "Team of the Century." A geat tape for any baseball fan, the tape focuses primarily on the Yankees and their quest for history. As I Yankee fan, I loved it.

who are the diamond backs ,no body will know in a moth or so,this is a great video of those ammazing yanks and derek jeter he should be manor of new york what a player

This was a sad World Series. It pretty much let us know that the Yankees were permanantly out of their 80's Losing Basement, and back to world champions. . .unfortunately.
Except Yanks fans, most people feel the way I do about the Yankees - they're bad for baseball and watching them win gets realllly old after a while. So only buy this if you are a Yankees fan, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm not so sure about anyone else, though. . .
