It’s been 23 years since the 1998 World Series, and the New York Yankees have not dominated to that level since. The following year, their win total dropped from 114 to 98.
That didn’t stop Derek Jeter and the rest of the core group from winning another championship in 1999. They swept the Atlanta Braves this time, and the young star hit .375 in the postseason.
In ’99, Jeter had the best individual season of his career. He hit .349, second in the American League, with 24 home runs and 102 RBI, all career-highs.
