If you ask most Yankees fans, any discussion of the greatest team in baseball history can only involve one of two teams: the legendary “Murderers’ Row” 1927 club of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and the 1998 juggernaut that steamrolled its competition en route to 125 combined victories. There might be some who make the case for 1961, but for the most part, it’s a difficult choice to pick between 1927 and 1998. In fact, even neutral observers who aren’t Yankees fans might rank them No. 1 and No. 2 all-time as well.
In my book though, the 1998 club gets the narrow edge.
